Is Yahoo!Answers really becoming "a rapidly filling cesspool, for a growing family of social misfits"?

I just went to my account and hit the go button to get an answer about voting and some guy calling himself "a-mazed" made this remark back in August. I'm new to all of this (only a week or two) and I just asked my first question(ha ha "a-mazed", I just got another best answer message in my mailbox, so stuff THAT in your cesspool!) so help me out here.

What do you all think? Cesspool or just a fun way to meet people and maybe learn something you didn't know? And should I do like a lot of others have and post this in every question category there is? Just kidding!

Update:

Holy crap! I step out of the room for a quickie and there are nine answers already! How's THAT for cesspool "a-mazed"?!

We have some VERY funny people in here, don't we!?

    No, that describes Yahoo Chat rooms.

    The cesspool you speak of are the people who can't ask legitimate questions. They make racist remarks, talk about having sex with kids and make fun of anyone who isn't exactly like them. Thos are the people who give YA a bad name!

    Good Lord, I certainly hope so. It already is, there without a doubt needs to be more.
