How many people here actually go back to a question you answered to see what others have answered?

Question

I mean like, are you interested at all in what other people say? Or just your own answer?

Answer 1

I do, I go back to see if there is a better answer, and if I could learn something new or not.

Answer 2

I read the answers before I post my answer.Then I post, but before I leave, there are usually more answers, so I read them and sometimes revise my answer according to what they post.

Sometimes I'll comment on their answer or their answer will bring to mind something more and I'll add.

Once in a while I'll read an answer and delete something I've said because it was already mentioned. Redundancy gets boring.

Later I'll I check my list and when I see a resolved question I'll go back, read the answers posted after mine then either vote or leave a thumbs up or down on the answer chosen.

I even go to already ended questions if it's interesting, to learn the answer.

Also when you go to post a question, a list of similar questions will come up, Many have ended, but you can get an answer sometimes without ever posting a question.

Remember going back gives more opportunities for more points too. I think you get a point for entering a question, then two for voting, 1 for thumbs up - thumbs down ( but 0 for undecided).

So besides learning more from going back and reading answers, you get points too.

There are a few wacky people here, but a lot of fascinating people too. I've learned a lot about people and some interesting topics too.

At the same time I think we have to remember that what we see here may or may not be correct and the people we meet here may or may not be who they say the are.

Answer 3

I do back and see what answers i've recieved. I mean why do waste point asking a question and don't bother looking at the answer.....by doing that you are not interested in the advice people give you........and some of the advice is really good and that you can actually learn something from them! I go back because some of the advice can actually help you in the long run.

Answer 4

I like to think that I have a general interest in the questions that I have answered so I do go back and check out the other answers. You may always learn something that you didn't know.

Answer 5

I read through other people's answers before I even post mine. Sometimes, I go back and check on other answers after mine, if it was an interesting enough topic.

Answer 6

I have gone back and read.

I love to see what other people write. It helps me learn about them. Everything you do has a piece of you interwoven into it. There is an imprint of you in everything you do.

:) Going back and reading the other answers lets me see who exactly is on the internet!

Answer 7

I go back when I ask a question (though granted I haven't asked a whole lot of questions here. But the one about inspirational phrases was very enlightening and enjoyable, I thought.).

Answer 8

Sure.

Level 4 level 4 get me to level 4. level 4 level 4 I wanna go to level 4

Yep I check esp if I was extra witty that day. Or the person was very depressed. you can put a question on your "watch" list.

I think my ADD is really bad today.

Answer 9

Oh, I'm interested! I always refresh a few times. Sometimes I even go back and change my answer.

Answer 10

I think those of us answered what we thought was a reasonable question, we will go back but it the answers are rude, crude and socially unacceptable, they don't go back to debate opinions.

Answer 11

I do. I always go back to see what others think. That's the point right?
