Why in the world do you get......???????

penalized 5 points for asking a question and you get two points for answering questions, and then you get 3 points back for picking the best answer. It looks like you come 2 short by asking a question. With out questions would there be any answers?

    isn't 2 pts worth tapping into the minds of the Y!A to answer your most vital questions....

    well...perhaps not.... but remember that you can't do anything with the points anyway...so it is one thing you can spend without costing you anything.... now that's PRICELESS
