If you decide to participate in Answers as it was designed, you will find it is a very enjoyable experience to receive a BA for truely helping someone.

If you continue to use this as a wierd "Chat Room", you will continue to be disappointed.

hahahaha

basically.

who knows. i guess it makes people feel good when they know the answer to something somebody else doesn't.

funny how addictive yahoo answers is.

Whenever I answer a question and it gives me the points and says "you're on a roll!!" it always motivates me to waste my time some more and answer some more questions.

hahaha

usually I only answer pretty general questions, I won't answer if it's a smartass question or obviously if I am not smart enough to know the answer.

It is nothing more than something to occupy your time if you don;t feel like watching tv......And I do have better things to do but I have everything done that needs to be done.......

Most people get on here to ask or to answer questions....♥

Most of them are geniune questions. However there are vagabonds in certain segments.

i guess not in 3 minutes ill go to sleep though

probably just curiosity and a feeling of satisfaction after you help out someone....

gives me sumthing to do and feels good to help ppl. also, i like to share my knowledge... well .. if i had knowledge i probably would like share it...
