    Dear lime_yyy:

    Although writing a response to any question will automatically generate two points to the poster, I for one am not one of those who just post to be collecting points. If that were the case, my score would be a whole lot higher than it is.

    There have been a couple of times when I contributed to the running gag of the moment, but the majority of my replies have at least been thoughtful (like when Jason N. asked, "What is the meaning of life?") if not totally correct. If I do not know the answer to a question, I have never posted a "I don't know" just to collect the two points.

    Therefore, while "cheating" might be an issue within this forum, I do not do so.

    And if you do not believe me, then you can ask Yahoo to subtract the two points that posting this response will give me from my total score.

    Sincerely,

    Lee Houston, Junior

    I did asnwer random questions in the beginning just for the points. I hated the limits of levels 1 &2. Now I try to only answer ones that I can make a difference on (but sometimes I stray).

    I did notice the L and the I -check it out 'Illinois' or 'Illegal' -they look so strange.

    The problem is your focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.

    It's only my 2nd day using Yahoo answers so I'm pretty sure I'm not a cheater but there sure are lots around. I see so many stupid questions being posted. I think the best way is to just ignore them and not answer their stupid questions.

    No, I didn't cheat. Why would I want to find out how popular I am? I already know the answer and I don't want to face the truth.
