It's often thought provoking!. It makes me think of things I wouldn't normally think about, and if it's chosen as 'best answer' it's a bonus that I have actually been able to help in some way!. This is a good question because I haven't thought about it before!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is the only method of communicating with thousands of people, expressing your point of view or knowledge and also finding out what other people think about a given subject!.

It also saves wasting time writing to one of the big business vested interest daily newspapers with a million to one chance of having your letter published!.
If you doubt this just try next time you are about to send your comments to this site and see if your letter is published!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

First of all, the reason that the question is there, and then that it appeals to me in some respects, i!.e!. personally, emotionally or intellectually!. An answer has to type properly, without spelling mistakes, which assures me that the questioner is serious about what he or she is asking, then a question has to be about general life like situations that I could identify with, or have general know of, or have specific opinion about!.

Sometimes, I have known myself to be answering questions even though I did not have any clear ideal as what a question was all about, I just understood of it whatever I could understand and proceeded from there!. I have often found that in such cases the answer come wonderfully laterally, or if you like, quite out of he blue!. I therefore understand that it is not reason alone the is needed as good answering practice but also ability think laterally, creatively and innovatively alongside an ability to think systematically, develop a point gradually and organised the entire bulk into logically connect parts, as in paragraphs!.

The time between I have first look at a question and coming up with an answer is normally very short!. It takes me about two minutes to think of two or three basic concepts , key words for them and an outlive for my answer of about five hundred words – my answers are always like little articles that I cannot help with, I cannot reduce the size of my answers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like to answers questions if I have knowledge / experience / advice to give on the subject !

Content is important - I stay away from anything that looks dodgy / subjects where I have no knowledge or where a poor informed answer could endanger someone eg Advising someone to do some work on their gas / electric system!.
Avatar + contacts - not important to me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I enjoy answering questions that I find interesting and/or challenging!. For instance, I am answering your questions because I think it's a good question!.

I too have wondered about this!. I answer some questions even when I don't know the answer because I want to get in on the 'conversation' !. I view the answers section like some would view their hobby!. It's relaxing, fun and maybe in some small way, I have helped somebody come closer to finding a solution to their problem!.

I have just answered your question with what I hope really does answer your question!. But, like every answer here, only you can be the judge of that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

to be honest i answer questions to try and see if i can give people positive advice and by doing so i gain points!. and it's also fun to do!. when i answer questions i feel like i'm doing something!.
i also gain experience from it and some of the things that people are asking about i can relate to!. And that i do my best in answering questionsWww@QuestionHome@Com

1) I have knowledge of the subject; or,
2) I can make fun of the question somehow, or otherwise turn my answer into a joke


I usually do not care about a person's avatar unless it is funny enough to comment on in a funny way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if the question is about something i like or something i know about and sometimes because i want to let ppl know tht there are others with the same problem or issue etc!.
but i think tht for those who answer the questions its to give and answer and help!.
good bless!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Social interaction is the reason most people would answer any question really!. Knowledgeable or not on a subject, people answer anyway!. I like debating theories,philosophically I grow less theoretical,and more practical using logic!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some people have the desire or passion to spread positive energy!. So if you have something positive use every avenue you can to share it!. Thanks!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if i happen to know something about it i answer!. i dont wanna bullsh*t them and make them do something wrong because i act like i have a clue about their question!. i hate when people do that!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well i can't very well answer a question if i don't know anything about the subject!. so probably knowledge!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Since I cannot eliminate all ignorance and meanness because they are people characteristics, improving the people is the way to improve the environment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

cuz i'm bored and am always interested in the human condition of asking questions to either validate their own opinions or for their own search for knowledge!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Something that sticks out from the rest of the questions, something original that grabs me and isnt just the same old question recylcedWww@QuestionHome@Com
