Are you addicted to Yahoo!Answers?
It's 2am here in Houston and said I was going to bed an hour ago but I just HAD to answer one more question.. which happen to be in a category I never searched before and started answering those questions. I love to answer people questions and try to do so with out putting my person feelings into it. I hardly do any research and it's mostly just based on my personal experiences.
Do you guys answer because you are addicted, bored, or is it the points? I hate the people who beg for points...
Oh! And why do some people choose not to detail their question? Maybe I detail too much? lol, idk I'm going to bed and will read answers tomorrow morning. Good night!
Err, I guess you can have a life outside an 'addiction'. After all I'm getting married Friday and having a baby in April, trust me.. I've been a busy lady... Just have certain hobbies which seem hard to pull away from.. You can see I'm still on here at 2:30am? lol

addicted? no way....
I do find it fun to honestly answer a question form my experience and reality and find out what the reaction is for the people that read it. I go back later and see who gave me a thumbs down and thumbs up / bst answer type of thing.
I am older and I gather from doing this awhile that most of the people on Y7 answers are younger than I, most in their teens. Some haven't liked my answers but it doesn't bother me. I tried my best to answer honestly with the purpose of helping. My advice, as someone wise put it to me, is worth exactly what you all paid for it...nothing. So when it boils down to it, I do this for fun.
I believe that people don;t detail their answers because there seems to be a bias against people who write many words...the longer it is, the less people will take the time to read it.

Speaking for myself only, I reply/answer only to Help others, not for the Points.
Isn't that the purpose of Answers? To sincerely help Others.
A little tiding of one's time, researching answers to one's question is a joy if I know I am able to help people.
I have a Great Life Outside of Yahoo, which I really enjoy.

well I really like to help people to be completely honest with you! I'm not quite addicted because life is far too busy for me lately! =)

Not really, Yahoo! is just to hang out. Yahoo! is my hobby
