Does anyone actually care about Yahoo points?

I'm wondering because I got one of those emails that shook its finger at me and said I could have earned three extra points if I had chosen my own best answer instead of leaving it to the community. It never occurred to me until then that people might actually care about Yahoo points. Do you?

    I never knew they sent a message like that...

    No, I don't really care about the points, sometimes I ask a question that is kind of personal to me & I don't want it to stay on here "forever", so after I get a helpful answer, sometimes I delete the question & I lose points.

    Also, after I answer a question, if I don't think I have the best answer, I get a lot of thumbs down or the person asking the question doesn't like my answer, I delete my answer & lose points.

    No, I don't. Unfortunately, and your email is a good example, some people care waaaay too much about points. They get all bent out of shape when a Best Answer isn't chosen, they get a minor violation or having to start over if they create a new account. Because they are so into the competition, there's fighting and arguing and threats and people complaining to Yahoo about the loss of points. You'd think they were money! I think it's fine if someone doesn't choose a Best Answer. It's not a rule or a requirement, it's a choice.
