when answering a question do you really check the category before choosing to answer it?

i just look at the question. if i like it i answer.

the reason i ask is coz i'm tired of searching for the right category.

so do you look first or do you just look at the question?

    I answer question lately from my contacts or others who caught my attention randomly I never search a category.

    When I follow a contact's star, I have learned to look. Sometimes, the answer really depends on the category the question is in. I found that out the hard way. lol

    It is there to use when the 24 hours have passed. In the "old days" of this site, you could resolve a question whenever you wanted. But do to the abuse of that privilege (people closing within the 1st 5 minutes of posting) it was changed.

    I do look at it first. If its a contact I alway try and answer it no matter what ( thats if I am not crazy busy LOL)

    But I pick and choose my questions if I have a good answer for them.

    this is how I answer questions:

    I go to my email first and check to see what my contacts have asked and go answer all of their questions that are still open.

    Next I go to P&S usually and just answer from there....

    however sometimes I just get bored there and so then I go to the main page and just answer what ever interests me.
