Mine are private because I sometimes answer out of impatience and don'rt want that to be the view everyone takes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some claim it's to prevent stalkers, or foil "report" attacks aimed at eliminating their accounts!.

Q&A hidden, level one account and a minimal " best answer" rating screams "troll" in many cases!.

Hard on the true newbies, perhaps, but their questions and answers tend to be less provocative!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some times it may be fear driving them to do this!.
But this is not the case always!. there are a plethora of emotions intentions and volition that can drive people to do this, some times it could be due to no proper reason as well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. That is a private choice each person sets up for themselves when they sign up for Yahoo answers or later on in the course of doing it!. So it's the individuals choice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have a Q&A!? Oh, sweet! I was wondering if there was a way to go back and check old questions!.

Why keep that hidden!? I stand by everything I say!.

Especially the contradictions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

From what I've seen the people who make their Q&A private usually are the ones who are jerks or give "controversial" answers!
