If you care enough about a question to ask it, why don't you care enough to pick an answer?...?

Sometimes the best answer is best chosen by communal vote.

Sometimes I can't get to a computer at the right time. Most of the answers come within an hour on R&S, but you can't choose till four hours later.

Sometimes I can't decide between two or more good answers, or none of the answers hits the spot.

Mind you, I think I've almost always picked a best answer, because most answerers would like this, even if it's not theirs.

Valid question though, and one I've thought about heaps of times.

Most of the time I do.

But sometimes I think there are too many decent answers, so why not let others pick? Sometimes it interests me to know what somebody else thinks is 'Best'.

And sometimes I want people's views, like my current question. If I think someone had explained theirs particularly well I may pick it as BA, but it isn't the sort of question where there is a 'right' or 'wrong' answer.

.

Becuase the purpose was to get an answer. It was not to let people know that they had gotten an answer, accumulate points, etc. Seems pretty simple.

All they care about is getting their answer, after that a lot of people don't even come back until they have something else to ask.

What annoys me more are those people who get the answer they want THEN DELETE THE QUESTION

Well, I'd say that sometimes there's more than one best answer & it's hard to decide, so it's left up for voting

hey man you are right i have choosen a best answere for almost all my questions but some off them i just get stupid answeres so i dont i just delete them

That goes on a lot,,,oh well

Where do those questions end up I wonder???

If something like that makes you that angry then maybe you should spend time doing something else Mr. top contributor. Its not normal to spend that much time doing this.
