Having a question and answer forum like this -you encounter your questions even before you completely type them provides a feeling of repetitve ness and the answers ofcourse are near about the same.A good answer is rare and dare.So after a while the forum reaches a plateau .How do we change things ?

We can't. Forums like this lead to anarchy unless there are strict operators around. You had to change it to some Wikipedia-style organization.

I cannot really say I consider this to be a collective knowledge base, so I have no high expectations. I prefer to look at this as just a place to post a question and wait to gather differing opinions. We do not have to choose to follow the opinions, that comes into free will/decision making. I think this is not much different than sitting around with a group of others and asking what they think about this or that and getting their opinions. I do agree with the answer you already received regarding being selective about the questions you ask and the answers you give. Hope this helps a bit.

I love my questions and answers. The represent my best on the spot thinking that I can do. They for me do not seem repetitive. For example this question I don't remember answering before and I think that your question is very interesting. So my answering it I can track both the question and see what other interesting people answered it. It certainly is different then say Wikipedia where people get to re-write and correct a world bank of knowledge. Maybe Wikipedia is converging our sense of reality and Yahoo Answers is inherently more divergent. We don't have to mediate and come to a happy agreement because we are not socially discoursing.... just expressing our immediate truth. Good luck.

Well we could ask different questions. If our question, or one similar to it, has already been asked, then there is no reason to repose it.
I think that certain statistical information can be obtained from a vast kwnoledge base like Yahoo! Answers. You can count how many times a question related to a certain subject has been posted, how many answers did it get etc. etc.
You can really see what's on the mind/minds of the planet at a certain time this way.

Good answers are common, though good people to carry them out are rare. It doesn't take a keen mind to help someone up who has fallen or feed a hungry mouth--at the same time, though, you cannot teach someone to care.
