Why aren't there any thoughtful, sensible questions asked in this section?

    Besides the trolls/question movers, and the odd mis-categorized question. It's basically it's because any actual knowledge shared here is all generally info that could be easily looked up in the FAQ/ABOUT link, But 99.9% of new users generally don't seem to have the energy, patience, or common sense to do that so you get "how do I delete a question" or "why is nobody answering my question" 13,462 times a day instead.

    This section is supposed to be dedicated to Yahoo Products but sadly we see too many troll, Dear Abby,rate me and other similar but non related Qs posted here.The sad thing is way too many top answerers actually answer them.I am guessing that not many genuine knowledge seekers now frequent the page.
