do you believe that yahoo's "top answerers" exist?

Question

i am more than a bit skeptical about the existence of some of the so-called "top contributors" on the leaderboards, particularly as most of the top ten have private questions and answers, leaving NO way to verify their activity.  

on close examination it would appear to me that  these are primarily "plants" by yahoo - probably employees, who have mined the boards for questions considered in need of "appropriate" answers. 

i have been a member for the same length of time as "sunshine25 - Level 7 - 1486 Best Answers [in the journalism/news category] " but i have NEVER seen an answer by this supposedly extremely prolific answerer.  supposedly  having given 10, 863 answers over a three-year period means that she would have had to answer just under ten questions per day, EVERY DAY, for three years.

has anyone else ever thought about this???

I have actually, and in all the time I used to spend here (as in literally all day at work and then when I got home - sad, i know!) I have only ever seen her answer ONCE and I couldn't believe my eyes...Never saw her again though so maybe it was my imagination.

Michael is always in here answering though, haven't really looked at the rest of the names.

I know what you mean, it seems like most Top Contributors or Answerers just sit pretty atop their shiny green thrones, But I've seen Stephen K around two or three times actually, and it's amazing to see him out there. I believe there should be some type of cap, or rotation system in place, or once you get TC or TA, if you don't maintain point quotas, it'll slowly start trickling points out of your account. That, I'm sure, would send a shock wave through this community, of, as you charge, "top answerers".
