Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I think that any philosophical question deserves and answer, because the very nature of knowledge is that it helps us to further understand!. However, there are some questions more worthy of our though than others, and these are the ones we should focus on!. To give more thought to the less worthy questions will restrict us rather than help us!. That being said, I am saying this about us as a whole, so there can be some people who focus on these other questions, as long as overall the worthy questions are getting more thought!.

One could theoretically phrase a question that has so much sophistry embedded in it that it would not be worth answering!. Perhaps a question not wroth answering is the same as one that does not deserve an answer!.
Something such as:
Have you stopped beating your wife yet!?
might not deserve an answer!.

I suppose one could argue that no improperly worded question deserves an answer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. Any true philosopher will tell you that there is always an answer to every question, and every questions deserves to be answered!. Stupid questions are simply questions asked in the wrong way, therefore there are no stupid questions either, simply improper wording!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

No one can read the mind of the questioner when they wrote it!.

I got a best answer from one who admitted afterwards the question was "tongue in cheek" but admitted my answer was good advice!.
