We hope you enjoy it!

It does seem strange.Probably it is due to some system error.But good for you

that you still are coming out a winner,not that it bothers you,I am sure,because

your points tally is over twice that for level 7.But tell me honestly.At your level do

points really matter?I have never bothered about points.Isee the points only when I

receive a mail from Yahoo offering congrats for reaching the next level.I derive satisfaction in participation and exchanging vies,pleasantries and learning something new.The latest piece of info that I have is that India which had the pride of place in producing the hottest pepper (chili) in the world called Bhut Jolokia has lost out to,of all places,the UK where a greenhouse expert has grown a hybrid

variety which has a Scoville heat unit measure of over 1.35 million compared with the Bhut Jolokia's score of 1.05 units.May be trivia but all the same an interesting piece of info.Incidentally,the new variety of chili is called Naga Viper.

Have a Spicy Hot Day.

Yes, it is true that Yahoo is giving four points for answering a question presented on the Yahoo Forum.

I am giving you the " Best Answer" which you should award ten points to check and be sure that this is still true. I'll of course let you know directly. Enjoy

Edit: I quickly receive the four points upon posting my answer.

Still awaiting the Ten points Best Answer.

Edit: Eleven Points are now being given for the Best Answer - as such I now await that eleven points for best and most informative answer to your question sir. Thank you for this opportunity.

I think, I got 10 points when I answered a question at that time I was bit surprised

to see that, and start thinking that may be I had given two answers and yahoo giving me

2 points for that question which I answered first.

why bother about 2 or 4 points.Try go get 10 points for every good answer you give. I am happy i got 10 points many times.I hope this answer will fetch me 10 points with appreciation.

you may be lucky enough or vip i am getting till now only 2 points per answer

yes i got 4 marks for answering this question i checked up and furnish by edit

Unlike you I'm getting only two points for each answer. After reading this question I checked my activity details which showed 2 points for every answer

Edit :

OMG !! I got 4 points for this answer.

Yes. For a limited period this month. Its a year end festive season give away for the members and contributors of the site. Thats a sweet gesture by Yahoo.

Let us believe YAHOO UK & IRELAND TEAM's answer. Actually it is an wonder that somebody from Yahoo replied to such a VALID question. If it is recieved from Yahoo India, I should have more satisfied. Excellent question.

This problem was creeped in a few years ago but now I again started getting two points.
