can some of these answers be taken and published elsewhere? Are they Yahoo's property, the individual 'posters' or nobody's!?

Of course it is. There is a copyright statement at the bottom of every page. See the little r beside Yahoo! ANSWERS? That is a trademark and it can't be used either.

I'm not 100 per cent sure on this, but I'd be willing to bet Yahoo holds copyright. If not Yahoo, the individual writers.
It's an interesting question, I'd be glad if someone from Yahoo maybe could answer it! Have you asked them?
Edited to add: Kjelstad is right ... it's right there at the bottom of the page in the very fine print, lol. But it's there. Yep, Yahoo have copyright.

In the very least they belong to the poster. You'd have to read the terms of service to determine if Yahoo has any claim to them. If an answerer is duly cited, then you can publish the quote. You just have to quote the person, and I believe you would have to quote the real person in a published work.

Interesting question. I guess it is a public forum so plagerize away.
I would be interested in reading a book with some of the arguements posted here.
However, it would be impossibly hard to do, because many of the answers provided here are copied from other sources, so the bibliography would be a nightmare.
