Why are YahooAnswers people so lazy or unable to search for answers that already exist on this site?

Its sooooooo easy! Do you see the "search for questions" box? I see the same questions being asked over and over and over and over. To ask again is to waste people's time and makes this site not nearly as helpful or fun as it could be. Grow up and take responsibility for your own learning!!

Update:

I am aware that this question has been asked before... but apparently no one has read the answers!

Update 2:

AND... i've got points to spare.

    I know what you are saying...but I think it is a dangerous thing to impute motives to someone. Some times it can be a matter of not knowing how to look something up. I have learned a lot by reading YA and now have a Favorites file on my computer called Sources. I congratulate you on taking responsibility for YOUR life--and for knowing how to look stuff up. Really and sincerely.

    Yes, yes I see it ! I disagree with you about the Y!A people being LAZY because sometimes there is a long list of SIMILAR questions in the Search for questions:

    For example

    Question "Why are Yahoo! people so lazy

    **************1,241 results**********************

    Not such a short easy task when you see this amount of questions on the same subject, to select the right one.

    Just as we all know YOU WILL NOT PICK A "BEST ANSWER"

    So you I believe are misinformed.!!!!!!!!!!

    PS I gave the other sensible people that answered a 'THUMBS UP"

    some people want to ask similar questions as before but they are different from the people who have gone before so they want to get answers that suit them

    some don't realize about the search option when they are newbies

    They're probably the same ones that ask you to look up a book for them instead of using the computer. People are naturally lazy sorry to say.

    Sometimes, when the answer is that there is no answer, or something trivial like that, then people post it up again and again until they get an answer. I posted up a question, except no one answered it.

    Well just to let you know you just waisted points on asking a question thats not going to give u an answer that you need

    Why did you spend two minutes of your life writing this question, when man has ponder this mystery for centuries?

    Why did I just answer this question?
