    10 is 10, it's nice to know when you've helped someone, but I guess I don't feel bad when I get best answer by default but I do feel good when I get it chosen by asker.

    I can never understand why people take the time to ask a question then don't pick their own best answer, especially for a personal question, what's that all about?

    I got one that was only 1 star and said something like they were reporting me for being racist. I just gave the history of the South in the 1800's. But I guess they never did report me.

    Yeah or if I was the only one who answered. It's a bummer, but atlease I still get the 10 points.

    yea, that's happened to me. if i don't get a good answer, i add details. or, just pick some random person. i still need points and i don't think letting the community choose is fair.
