Why do most questions go to voters to decide?
Why don't the askers select the best answer?
This would stop the guys with 20 email accounts from voting repeatedly for all of his own answers and stealing the best answer from someone who is more deserving.
If you ask a question, select the best answer yourself.
Ivan, I understand that can happen too, but most people are not willing to forfeit 5 points to get 10.

People just want to get answers and they don't care about picking the best one. People are lazy. Except the losers w/ 20 email accounts.

Might sound a little dumb, but I don't mind letting all of the martial artists here vote. I don't want to feel like my opinion on a best answer is the one anyone researching should follow. But if 5 other people think it's a great answer, then maybe they should consider it.
As for the 20 account people, if they are that desperate for points, who am I to stop them? I mean, that's a lot of work for 10 useless points. What will they ever do with them in real life. Kind of pathetic to go through all of that work if you ask me.

Two reasons:
1) The asker forgets to choose
2) Several of the answers are close, but there is not enough differentiation between the answers to be able to decide a best answer.

ummm i think your a little mixed up
yes the asker should always pick a best answer
the people with like 20 diffrent emails will still answer their own questions and then pick themselves as the best answer
theres no stopping that unless yahoo flags IP addresses
and doesnt allow that many accts. for one IP address

Most askers don't care, after they get their info they looking for, or if the answers don't satisfy them.
