Have you ever been HELPED here on Yahoo? I have. read more?

Question

I understand that there are children here and clowns! However, when I have a serious question, I appreciate the advice that I receive. Of course I solicit advice from THE REAL WORLD, but aren't people REAL here too? I know I AM!!!! Some people are only playing here ~ and, if they are, I IGNORE THAT! Some days I play too. The reason that I know that some of these questions could POSSIBLY be genuine is because I KNOW THAT SOME OF MY QUESTIONS ARE ACTUALLY GENUINE.

even if I was to put "A PICTURE" on here ~~how would you know that THAT PICTURE was REALLY me???????

Answer 1

I think most people realize when you need genuine advise and when you are just playing. I usualy ask not too serious questions, but when something is important, I feel that I have recieved mostly heartfelt and genuine responses, and I appreciate that. It helps to have a sounding board, and get a variety of veiwpoints. I think it usualy works pretty well.

Answer 2

I will answers each of your statements because I CARE for your well-being!

You mentioned "that there are children here and clowns"... do I fit into both of these categories? Evil clowns scare me.

Yahoo posted a NO SOLICITING sign outside the room. You cannot solicit answers! I am telling Edna! REPORTED!

What you perceive as REAL PEOPLE here is merely an illusion. The Yahoo Answers "arena" as it were is quite simply a false world; like the Matrix. (Morpheus and Neo say hello BTW)

You have some genuine questions?
Wow... who woulda thunk it? I sit here for hours awake at night thinking up fake stuff to post.

Answer 3

Yeah I get what you're saying. I actually don't ask too many questions, I mostly answer them, but I know I appreciated the real answers I got. I had asked for some english translations to spanish, and I was hoping that I wouldn't get some crazy translations back -which I was glad I knew enough spanish to know if it would be wrong or not. But all of my answers were appropriate and really helped me out! It's always nice to know that you have the questions you can answer for fun and those that you can answer to really help someone out and vice versa

Answer 4

if someone has a legitimate question, I try to be as helpful as I can be, but if they post some dumb pointless question, I may have to play around with it a little
I have asked a few questions, and I have received a couple of decent answers, but on the whole it seems that MOST people are on here just to screw around...but that's OK, as I'm known to do it too, sometimes. And occasionally their even funny!!

Answer 5

I've only asked a few questions myself. Only two of them were just something silly to see what the answers were. I hope that I can give some good advice as well as have some fun too.

Answer 6

For sure!
I try to help out to the best of my ablilty even though i can't spell the greatest!

But i give free advice and i try to help out... it feels good when you do something to help out or at least try!
some responses could be a little nicer sometimes but for the most part i get the answer that works... so Give it up!!
Mad luv

Answer 7

I think that people should not answer unless they know the answer. I absolutely find it distasteful when people write answers like "I don't know" or "Who cares". I think that Yahoo should find a way to limit those people and I always always report abusers. I wonder if Yahoo actualy does anything about an abuse report?

Answer 8

mine are all genuine, Creolegirl, but sometimes when I ask a serious question, all I get are sarcastic answers, but out of some other questions, I have been helped.

Answer 9

Most of the time I ask questions for my own entertainment.

Answer 10

i agree i mean there are some really nice peeps trying to help~~take everything with a grain of salt~~~i mean how serious can you be under our facades?
