How do you compare Y!A to other sites you've used?

I've been on Answers.com. I sometimes took great exception that Anyone could "edit" my answer.

I usually prefer Y!A. Great Spell Check! But, sometimes, the most "popular" answer is far from right. The right one is too often a lone voice , one of ten or more, crying in the wilderness...

Your experience/thoughts?

Update:

A problem with All sites, that I see more and more, is misrepresentation. Someones says they are a "lawyer", in the defensive on an answer; I don;'t se that in their profile, no do I see any proof of some Supreme Court "decision:" they mention. Not to call them Liars, but,Sorry, no links, no proof.

    I think Y!A would have to be on top. I don't mind the spell checker, but sometimes it comes up with some ridiculous ideas, but they can be comical. I do get tired of "you seem to have a lot of punctuation" I sometimes throw more in just to annoy the system.
