The Answers community picked a best answer for your question - 6 MONTHS LATER?????

I posted a question SIX MONTHS BEFORE. But now I've received a mail alert for a best answer. How it is possible after expiry of that question.

    The question has been in the unresolved category since it went into voting. If you look at an old question in Unresolved, you'll see it has (Tiebreaker) next to it. That means that the votes are tied, and no best answer can be awarded until the tie is broken. The Yahoo Answers Tiebusters works as a group to vote and resolve these tied questions. Individuals in the group may also have specific categories that they work on. So, somebody voted for you, broke the tie, and you get 10 points! Enjoy!

    Its simple the question is in tiebreaker for long period of TIME. The tie Breaker vote will be received now only that is why the best answer has been selected so lately.

    Possible because you have not chosen best answer and others have not reacted on that by voting so time is time when someone has reacted on your question then only alert may be posted to you. Is not it?

    either no one voted or may people did and there was a tie breaker for a very very long time! instead of leaving ur question best-answerless, u shuld choose one. leaving it for voting is useless coz the deserving person may not get those 10 pnts!!
