Should yahoo answers make answers searchable by the asker's and the answerers' name?
It concerns me that most of the top answerers (the top 3 for sure) hide their questions and answers from being viewed. Their identity is already sheltered by the use of a handle. I have about 1,200 answer and they are not hidden. I can't think of a valid reason to do so. Makes me wonder what's up? Why would you want to hide your Questions and Answers? Maybe there is a valid reason?
