Survey: Do you hate when a contact stars a question?

and then doesn't bother to answer it because you'd like to know what they had to say?

Or does that not bug you because this is the internet and why should you care anyway?

Update:

Breezy, I was wondering/hoping someone would do that when I posted this! LOL :-D

Update 2:

Poetess, I can only hope that it's so. ;-)

Roderick, that's a good reason. I confess I do that sometimes, but more often I'll say "(the best answerer's name) FTW."

Update 3:

umm... hope that you understand me that is... in case that wasn't clear to everyone. lol. Long monday.

    I had this urge to star this question... and not answer it. lol

    Sometimes, I star a question and I don't answer it. It could be because I am not sure what to say, don't know much about the subject, sometimes...if it involves giving more personal information than I want to, I don't answer it... but I still star so others can have the option of answering.

    Because of what it has been like on this lovely site, I have become more cautious and stick to basic topics. If I really have something to say and don't want to post, I send a message.

    If I star and don't answer a question it's because either one of the other answers says all I could, and better; or the issue in the question has set me off so that I've become inarticulate.

    Another reason would be because the issue is being 'followed' by the USDoJ; in that case, the question needs to be examined, but I'm too cowardly to openly cross those guys, they play rough.

    It doesn't bother me at all. I many times won't answer a question because there are already good answers. I will however star when I want to go back & see later the other answers. I don't just randomly star a question for no reason though.

    I'm not bothered by it. Sometimes, I star questions and don't answer it because I simply don't know how to answer it; thus, I'd like to see what others put as their answers.

    you DON'T sound stalkerish (ignore that answer). i understand you. personally i don't know if anyone stars my questions much. i don't pay attention. i just like hearing from friends about what they think about things. :)

    It doesn't bother me.

    In fact it sounds stalkerish to be upset over that...
