How many of you read an asker's previous questions before answering?

I always check out what these people have asked before, that way I can know if they are for real or not! You would be surprised what you can learn about people just by checking out their previous questions!

    Sometimes I do if the question just sounds a little off the mark.By reading the prior questions you do get to form an opinion if the asker is serious or not.The most obvious ones are when the asker cannot even be consistent if they are male or female, 15 or 22.Just foolish people who try to play with people's emotions at our expense.These people should be thankful they don't have the issues they pretend to have.

    Source(s): Don't get me wrong,I enjoy getting on Q.&A. for a bit most days.Some people make me laugh and others make you want to cry.
  • I only do when they are asking a question like.... 'Why is everybody so rude on Answers'....

    You'd be amazed how many of these questions pop up...

    So I read their earlier questions and tell them why.... LOL
