You wasted five points on an obscure two word with a question mark? Sorry, but just putting out words and placing a question mark at the end does not make it a question. A question actually makes sense, not some gibberish like this. This is not even a statement. I have seen many who put out statements in the questions area with a question mark behind it. Just because you place a question mark behind a statement does not change the fact it is a statement. This is not even a statement, nor is it a question.

I suggest reading the Community Guidelines so you will have a better understanding of how Yahoo! Answers work. I would be happy to answer a real question. If you are trying to participate here using english as your second language here is a bit of advice on forming a question. First you must think of what you are trying to communicate in your question. What is it you want to find out or get an opinion about. Then think of how it would need to be worded in order for others to understand and return an answer as close to what you are looking for as possible. The more clarity you use the better the responses.

For example, often questions begin with: Who; What; Where; Why; or with short phrases such as: Do you think........; which is asking an opinion, or: Should I.........: which is also asking an opinion. (fill in the [.................] with words which describe what you are asking)

What do you think about Kerrill, who is the leading political candidate for the lilberal party? ( I don't know who Kerrill is so I just made this up.) This is a proper question and provides enough information to give those who answer the ability to understand what you are asking and to get on the web and find the information if they do not have an opinion when first viewing the question. We have search abilities right under the answer box now on the answer section.

I hope this helps if you are using english as a second language.
