"Excellent Answer" In Addition To "Best Answer"?
Do you agree with me that the designation of "Best Answer" in Yahoo Answers should be (be default) changed to "Excellent Answer" when it was the only answer? It seems to me almost an insult to call an answer "best" when it was the only one!

And what if the ONLY answer is a CRAPPY answer but still gets BEST ANSWER because the person who gave that answer voted it Best Answer him/herself?
Happens all the time.
It can't be an EXCELLENT answer if it's a poor answer. Even if it's the 'Best Answer'!

No because sometimes you get a bunch of crap answers and none of them are excellent. However I agree that if there is only one answer it can't be best in any way that makes sense. If it's the only answer it is both best and worst at the same time.
If you get a bunch of crappy answers you can still consider one of them to be best of the crap.

It should be an addition, I think. If you happen to have a best answer, but want to acknowledge another answer as well.
