Admit it: You star a question so?
your contacts can read your witty answer and give you a thumbs up.

I very rarely star a question... can't remember the last time I did. On the rare occasion I do, it's because I think a particular contact might be interested in answering. I don't usually check back to see whether I've been thumbed up or down unless it was a very controversial question and I'm interested to see what others wrote and how my answer went down!

Nope, I have no fans (don't allow them). I star because I find the question interesting and would like to see the answers because I either A) I don't know the answer or B) I have the out there answer and like to see how many thumbs down I get.

I'm big enough to admit that,I also star questions because my contacts are a witty bunch and it makes for hilarious reading.

That might have been true, if I actually took the time to answer the questions I've been starring.

no actually I avoid starring a question where I think I have the best answer in order to avoid one of my contacts giving a better answer and stealing best answer from me!

Not just that :p
I star if I think it's interesting/ridiculous/pulls on the heart strings/controversial.
I heart the stars button!

Exactly right, or I know it's the kinda question my contact would answer so I star it for him/her.

No... I star questions because I figure if somebody has taken the time and effort to ask them and I took the time to answer them, other people can too. :)
