Why do you answer Yahoo answer questions?

someone asked me the this question and said what a waste of time. I don't think it is & I know why I do it but I just wondered why you do it and no I dont do it for the points!

    I do it because I feel like if I can give someone a really good answer that Im really helping them out and it makes me feel like Im doing a good thing! Especially if someone is really stuck on a personal situation and I've helped them out of the ruckus!

    It's nice to think I can help someone in some small way, even if it's just to remind them of the title of that song they only heard once 20 years ago, or reaffirm to them something they already know the answer to.

    Karma, additionally. I have only asked three questions so far myself, but I got some great advice and I really appreciate it. What goes around comes around!

    Some times I just enjoy helping out. It also keeps me thinking...... some times I learn by reading a question and then I look up the answer so I will know the next time.

    The points are fun I guess but mostly it keeps me thinking.

    I love Yahoo Answers because I get to help people out with something that is on their mind, or they are going through a hard time, and you can encourage them. It is a great way to get help with something that you dont understand.

    Kind of like Jeopardy.

    To see if one knows a good answer and to find answers to questions one may not know.

    Symbiotic relationship, ya know.

    I think it's fun and I like sharing my knowledge with other people to help them.

    boredom, really. maybe i can find something useful in my own life and maybe, just maybe, help out somebody else. but its really hard to be serious sometimes due to the hilarious questions asked here.

    I think it is fun. I also like to try to help....and some questions are very amusing.
