well people pose a question, then all the armchair philosophers and psychiatrists in the Yahoo Answers community argue about what the answer is and give their very important point of view, all the while seeking some sort of validation for their pearls of wisdom that they picked up from watching the latest re-runs of The Facts Of Life and Full House. If only they could be recognized as the all powerful enlightened meat bags that they know they are.

You can post a question for 5 points. And when you answer a question you get two points. If you get the best answer you get 10 more points. The more points you have the higher level you are. The higher the level the more question you can ask and answer.

basically you post a question you need an answer to. anyone who knows the answer will post an answer. you will recieve an email notice when you have an answer to your question. you can also answer other peoples questions and if they pick your answer as best answer you get an email and 10 points. the points are for level up and the higher you level up the more questions you can ask and answer.

You ask a question and I translate the answer Mitch sends to me telepathically. It really irritates the snapple out of me when he makes me answer. I think he is obsessed with answers. He really should be put on medication, if you ask me. Don't ask him, He will say I need meds. What a great question.

It's easy once you get the hang of it. Click answer, read the question, type in your answer without any bad words, scroll down and click preview, then submit. You get 2 points.

You ask questions, Answer questions, and vote on undecided questions. It is a little confusing at first. But you will get used to it. Good luck!
