Here you go: my Top Ten List of Time-Saving Arts & Humanities Answers from 6 months on Y!A:

10) No, I do not have the personal e-mail or phone number of Miley Cyrus (or any other celebrity), and anyone who says they do is lying, and even if I did why would I give it to you, and even if I did what makes you think she’d want to talk to you?

9) No, you cannot find your favorite recent book/CD/DVD to download For Free!, because it’s called copyright violation, it’s a crime, and anyway, who says artists are supposed to work their butts off just so you can NOT pay them? You wouldn’t work for free; why should they?

8) If you want to act, act; if you want to write, write; if you want to dance, dance. Everything else is about figuring out how, and you won’t do that sitting in front of a computer.

7) If you have to ask where to get an agent, you’re not ready for one.

6) Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare, Oswald killed JFK, and “The Da Vinci Code” is rubbish. Get over it.

...Isn’t a question at all. It’s “goodbye”.

After 6 months, 10,000+ points, 972 answers (including 593 Best—61%), and achieving my aim of scaling to the top of the Arts & Humanities leaderboard for the moment (correct figure should be about 475 Best Answers, but that bug is still to be fixed...), time to get on with more productive uses of my time. Thanks for the chance to provide some help to those who genuinely appreciate it; apologies for the occasional snarky replies to the rest. I yield the A&H category—especially Theatre & Acting—to other capable hands, in hopes that in spite of the truly amazing amount of crap that clogs Y!A, they can continue trying to bring some order to chaos....

Good night, and good luck.

P.S.: to help out, I'll post some handy answers in another "question". Cheers.
