Does it make you feel like a loser when you rarely get the "best answer"?

I feel this way sometimes.

No. If you will notice, only 10% of those who promise to award a best answer actually do. In fact, when someone promises to award a best answer in the question, it is usually a fair giveaway that they are shallow and the question isn't worth answering. If you want to push your percentage above 6%, then browse your answers and vote for yourself. I don't do this because I am Level 7 and couldn't care less if an answer is reported as being in violation. People are pretty touchy around here. But there are some that appreciate your input, I swear there are.

I have been getting 2 best answers a day all this week so I don't fell like such a loser right now, but once I go back into my "no best answer 2 weeks" I fell like a loser again.

No. The fact that I have 587 of them makes me feel like a loser.

Nope, but I must say I got a "best answer" for someone disliking my comment the most! He wanted to guarantee that I read it so chose me. It was a debate and I was actually honored that he found my response the most intimidating : )
