Why do you not choose a best answer?

Why not at least acknowledge you have read the answer?

Say you cannot choose?

Say that none of them really answers your question?

A lot of time goes into some replies, nobody expects adulation but it would be nice to know they have a least been read.

Update:

S McV made me smile, Just a G has a valid reason.

I consider it rude and impolite not to acknowledge that people have bothered to answer (unless the answer is rubbish, then say so).

    Well said, couldn't agree more. I find that people who claim they are desperate to know the answer are the worst culprits.

    I agree. As well as the 'desperate to know' the offer of '10 points' in the question means nothing.

    It looks as if the main offenders are not bothering with this question.

    Mention weight, diet, am I fat (pics) and everybody is there!

    Missed one once and forgot to look another time. It is rude I agree and I avoid the ones with 10 points in the question.

    I read every answer I get, and who ever I give the BA too always has a comment left about their reply...Its only polite, if they have bothered to answer then I should be bothered to read and reply.

    I always read every answer.

    If it's offensive to anyone, not just me, then it will not get BA, same goes for anything unhelpful or off-topic.

    People without avatars are unlikely to get picked with me.

    Well I want to, but sometimes I dont have internet access.

    Otherwise I make sure I choose BA.
