How many of you vote to get the 1 point when they run out of??'s?

Ok, Honesty please, I just spent all day yesterday voting for best answers, I always scroll after to see who others voted for. I noticed that the #1 answer was WAY proportionately voted as best even when it was just an insult. So how many of you are getting your 1 point with out reading at least the first page of answers.........???? and just hitting #1, #1, #1, #1, #1,

I understand not wanting to read a filibuster or a rant but how do you justify taking the point and not reading anything. I know this is not rocket science and it is not paying a wage but for the system to last people need to know the voters at least read the questions. Chosen by asker is the only area that I have seen that appears to be a fair choice based on the content. I get about a 10% Best which I think is OK since I am limited in my overall knowledge and many ??'s are out of my league. So this question is NOT why you don't vote for me, it is why #1, they just have the fastest computer. Not B.A.'s

    this is NOT Rocket Science? - Darn-nit!

    I believe the answer is this. People are lazy. Lazy promotes 'easy'. Easy is to put in an answer that takes no time to think about. Especially when it is to answer a question that they ALREADY knew the answer to, just trying to get approval from the masses. or rack up as many points as possible w/o learning anything... ahh... the American Dream......

    (If the masses ever approve of me, it's over.)

    I read the question, and i hate when people vote for answers for the wrong reasons. they are just doing it for points. Many people simply dont have the time to read evry single answer, while some are just too lazy to read all the answers, but that still doesnt make it right.
