Is it really an accomplishment to be at the top of the Global Overall Leaderboard for Yahoo Answers?

How long did it take you to write out that question, and think of it to begin with? Do you feel you wasted your time? If you do, why did you write it in the first place?

Obviously, if they have answered that many questions, they really enjoy yahoo answers. I myself sit here for hours on end sometimes, just going through and answering questions because I find it to be much more entertaining that say, sitting in front of the television or playing some stupid game.

An accomplishment is finding the cure for cancer, or working in a soup kitchen....how can sitting on your butt answering inane questions be an accomplishment? If it is, we seem to have pretty low standards…but I’m just a cartoon character eating chicken so what do I know? Not to mention I’ve been sitting here for about an hour doing the same thing…

This is actually an amusing way to spend your time. Since you seem to have carefully thought out your question and spent two paragraphs writing it, you must enjoy it somewhat too, or you wouldn't have placed a post, nor would you be reading this far down to get to my post, as I am way down toward the bottom of the list of those who answered your question. Maybe the poor fellow is disabled or something and all he does is stay on the computer between meals and bedtime. You never truly know how a person's shoes feel until you have walked in them.

I think in this case there is/are more than one person.(more than one PC?)

I think you are the one who is obsessing.! Why worry, there is no way you are likely to even get close.

Perhaps you are taking the spirit of Yahoo Answers in the wrong way.

I come in for the amusement, and if i can answer a question, i will. If i can put a funny answer, I'll do that too.

Just have fun and seek the answers or questions that are relevant to you.

Methinks you have not recovered from your frustration with Yahoo so are dissing Y! Answers. It is addictive - look how much time you have spent on your question LOL All power to those individuals at the top.

Come on, fess up what were these Groups that got deleted, I am all ears I am begining to see conspiracy theories abounding on why all your accounts got deleted at once. I just love mysteries.

Depends on how important it is to you.

I hought he idea was to help people wiht answers to things and feel good about hsaring to help others, it costs nothing.

I like Answers and have encountered some intelligent, interesting people here. Of course I have also had some quite unpleasant messages too there you go!

I am no bothered how many points I have I enjoy the experience and most of the people.

Not an accomplishment. Most at the top, I suspect have used means to get there that are less than honest.

Why the heck cheat in Yahoo answers? Competition?

...whatever. I am just here to give honest and/or funny answers.

Points mean nothing to me.

Only got reported once for a stupid reason, I was going to appeal it, but other answers said they just allow appealing to sound fair. I mean maybe it happened a few times, but I think they were kidding. Just go along with it, read the guiellines and terms of service JUST IN CASE, then delete your email talking about it. Everyone gets reported sometimes, and it;'s usually for stupid reasons, if any.

Of course it is an accomplishment, I have no intention of going for it, someone has to be at the top, some people put in a lot of effort, good for them I say. You sound a bit jealous.

Well personally I think this person must have a lot of free time on their hands. Of course I also think you must have a lot also since you appear to be obsessed with them. The answer to your question is no, it is not a particularly noteworthy accomplishment.
