I am a nurse, and really enjoy answering medical questions. But, I really hate it when ppl cut and paste five hundred million pages of info- info they have no clue about. Who the heck is going to read all that? When I answer a serious medical question, I say it in plain english- if I obtain additional info from the internet, I extrapalate only pertinant info and again put it in words that ppl can understand. ( I give credit to the website where I got the info- I certainly don't know everything ) This is the same way I do teaching with my patients. I wish ppl would stop cutting and pasting useless info. It's very annoying.

Yes, when they do this, it is even worse than a monosyllabic answer or sheer mockery, because they deceive the person who asks and they cheat on the rest of us. In the end, when the answers are in voting, some people do not even read the possible best answers and they just vote for the longest one. Quantity over quality..sad indeed

I agree. Let someone know where to find the info, there is no need to cut and paste, when you can look it up yourself. Just give someone a head start by pointing them in the right direction.

If it provides the person with the information then why does it matter if I am not a nurse. You need to relax a little before you develop hypertension. Opps sorry not being a nurse I shouldn't have said that.

this seems to be a problem, they get picked best answer because they have the longer answer, the person asking the question most likely does not read the entire answer. It terrible

It does annoy people, I think those people might found the information online, read a few lines and paste the whole article.

I agree, being too wordy can be annoying for others to read.
I'll work on that.

yuppers. you know what i hate more though??? when they type a question and you don't even understand it because of all the mis-spellings and slang, etc. it's annoying. if you're going to use this, at least try to speak some language that someone other than yourself knows.

Your question is as long as the answers you are complaining about.
