Are you challenged to answer a question with many answers? or you jump to another question to be the first?

Some questions seems to catch Answerers attention and received many answers. Did it challenged you to give your answer or you just skip it and go to another question with out answer to be the first one to give an answer?

    I check the all the answers already given. If I see that my kind a answer or very similar to my formulated answer is already there I skip that question giving a "Thumbs Up" to the answer I like most as I have nothing to add on. If I am not satisfied with those answers or I have something to add on I take the challenge not bothering the numbers of answers already given.

    Added Later:

    See this time my answer is very similar to the previous one as the question is so interesting that I didn't read the previous answers.

    Once I formulate the answer to a question in my mind, I go through the answers that might have been posted already. If I don't have anything new to add to what others have already written about, then I don't write my answer.

    However, if there is something I feel I need to add to the views already expressed by others, then I do give my answer - this is irrespective of the number of answers that have appeared earlier.

    Depends upon my mood. Lately it's been quite a silly mood...I no longer give a toot about much of anything, and that's a good thing, considering they're getting ready to dump my butt.
