Edna Bambrick is the name of an older age woman that often comes to this site with every chance she has. Supposedly, she mostly comes on to report any violations whatsoever on anyone she can. As I heard, the reason why she does it is because she feels as if she is making the Internet safe. After a while, she became the most popular individual (celebrity) on this site because she was the most hated as well. Many people then tried to report on her with any reason[s] they can find whatsoever and I believe they succeeded in it. Yet, it didn't stop there, because her celebrity status continued on within the site, even though she might have been suspended from here. As a comical sense, some people thought it would be humorous to impersonate her on the site by creating screennames with her name as it, also her picture included as well. Not long after, it got out of control, because it sparked the 'Edna Phenomena', whereby many more users followed in-step by replicating the same antics as the original pranksters. This is when many 'Edna imposters'; sprung up all throughout the site, as it continues still, thus creating a cult. Yahoo! had taken the action by suspending as many suspicious Yahoo! Answers accounts that is the sole intent of impersonating Edna. Yahoo! did the same as well with questions pertaining to the subject of Edna. There are many of the 'Edna imposters' remaining somewhere out there parading around while impersonating Edna. Also, it continues that many people who do not know who Edna is, asks about the whole 'Edna phenomena'. That is so far all I know about the whole phenomena.

Not sure about an Edna on here. My guess is a poster who offends people with her questions and answers. The only Edna I know of for sure is the poltergeist that lives at my grandmother's house. She steals stray socks from the dryer. :)

A character who goes around forcing their opinions and values onto every one who does not adhere to them. And reporting people like it's going out of fashion for silly things that don't fit with her "clean Christian" attitude. Only problem is, she doesn't stick to the rules herself, because she is not tolerant of other people's beliefs and also she generally posts questions in the wrong section.
She acts like the saviour of Yahoo!, trying to clean it up and get rid of the inappropriate posts by reporting users, but has really just become a bit of a joke really because of the manner in which she does it.
People either admire that Edna wishes to keep Answers clean but don't like how she's doing it, hate her, or mock her. Or have no idea who she is. But I don't think anyone really does.
