    I answer them as if they are real questions. It doesn't matter to me.

    Yes. I'd say about 1/4 of the questions and answers actually posted are honest and from the heart (or a reliable source.)

    When I post car questions (and since I took delivery on an '06 yesterday, hopefully those days are over) I'd say 1 in 4 or 5 is useful. If I do a relationship question, (had a guy friend who was bugging me a while back) the most common response was "why does your husband put up with this?" Ummm... that's between me and my husband and he trusts me and he knows I stay clear of anyone who could be a problem between us.

    So yeah, about 75% of what happens on here is somewhere between just plain fun and total BS.

  • Maybe some people, but I think it's a great website for a last resort when you can't get the anwer anywhere else. Some people are just moronic about answering questions for the 2 points.

    Yeah, alot of the people here are kids or teen-agers. And they just ask the most bizarre questions just to get a rise out of people. But that's why people get mad, because that's immature.
