why does yahoo messenger let people see that i answered or asked a question?

I want to answer and ask questions in secret on here. Now my friends will see if i ask some embarrassing or weird question, or maybe even something about them! what the hell? If i wanted it to be known i'd just ask people things to their face not on yahoo answers. What a huge screw up on yahoo's part, that's just freaking stupid.

There is an update on yahoo messenger everytime someone answers or asks a question. Wtf?

Update:

all they have to do is click on the update and it takes them RIGHT to my question or answer.

    I don't like that either. So before you submit a question, underneath it says add as an update to yahoo or facebook and usually the yahoo box is checked. Just uncheck it and they won't be able to see what you answered. I'm not for sure, but I think you can also do that when asking a question.. ??

Then in case you bypass to speak rooom and needed each and every physique to speak only unclick the forget approximately icon.
