wait, yahoo have discovered the greatest ever market research machine in the history of mankind, they have found a way to make it addictive, and we are all slaves to it. Link it with the demographics in 360, and the messages in your e-mail, feed all the questions and answers and e-mails and demographics into a super main frame, mine the information, and control the world, nothing less, my friend, nothing more

A lot of people feel their knowledge is inadequate in real life so they say nothing, but here, you can almost compete with other answerers. Without arguments ensueing. I spend many evenings reading answers and learning, hardly ever answering.

Simple -- anonymity.
That and the need to have one's opinion heard and validated. Yahoo Answers is a fascinating forum. Too bad a majority of the opinions here are poorly stated, unresearched and generally unhelpful!

I can think of two answers:
1. Remaining anyonymous allows people to ask questions from people they don't know in case it might be silly.
2. Personally, I'm not a big talker; I'm not one of those girls that gabs on the phone for hours; I want quick answers to questions and that's the end of it.

How do you know that most of what is typed here isn't said in real life?? I don't have a problem saying what's on my mind, here or in real life.

Yes & the answers you get not like it would be like real life either.

People in my real life don't ask me these kinds of questions.

If you answer under anonymity, you feel safer. Also, if you're in a stinky mood, your neighbors dont have as much chance of finding out youre bein a brat! lol
