Question about answers on YOUR questions?
Ok, I have noticed that when some people answer questions they also post a link to the questions THEY have posted and want answered.....do you click on those links to go answer those people's questions? or do you ignore it?

I hate it when people do that.

If the question is interesting enough then my answer probably won't be the same as most of the other answers. If it's a simple question that anyone can answer (and several already have with the right answer), then I just pass it by. Why bother? If it's a simple question but the other answers are wrong, then I'll sometimes give the right answer (and be voted down anyway, oh well). If it's a good setup question then I practice one-liners. If it's a dumb question I give it the dumb answer it deserves. If it's a serious question I try to give a serious answer. Occasionally I'll read the answers and rip one or more of the other answers. Sometimes I just have fun with it.

The only time I do that is for fantasy football advice, and I don't leave a link--I just say please answer my question. It seems appropriate because if someone is asking or answering that question, they have the same knowledge needed to answer mine. I don't do this in other categories though.

I usually don't follow the links unless it's from one of my contacts! There are a few exceptions but not many!

I ingore them unless the person specifically says the link pertains to their answer ... unless I am bored then I figure "What the heck" and check the link out.

It's a fifty fifty thing with me. Sometimes you need the link to answer the question.

No. I figure if i wanted to answer the question i would have done so when it was first posted.
