Yahoo! Answers...?

I think it's a little of both. I've seen some answers that were incorrect, irrelevant to the question, and dangerous. And there may be people who have the information, but can't convey it clearly, concisely, and correctly. I'm inclined to dismiss responses from anyone who can't use the English language to communicate well. And I don't see a problem with that. Your ability to communicate in writing is one indication of your intelligence, education, and knowledge.

I think this works for some questions but not for some.

Example:

What was the title of that song played at the end of this and that TV show last night?

If people give the answer multiple times, then it's probably the right answer. Plus, you could check it through the Internet if it sounds the same.

But for complex stuff like life stuff.. it's just a matter of opinion or something. People with bad pasts might respond in a manner different than people who are optimistic or something.

I totally agree. That is my attitude, also. I want to help wherever I can, but leave what I don't know to those who do.

It is addicting and I love the information that we all gain from the experience.

you are right...but does it really matter ?? yahoo answers is more for fun and answers given should not be taken too seriously without proper consideration...it's just a simple suggestion....
