I've had 3 people reply exactly the same to one question

very often people are all typing at the same time, so they dont know that they have duplicated an answer untill it appears on the answers page!

I thought the point of Yahoo! Answers was to get an answer to your question. The fact that you got 3 of the same answer just confirms that it might be the right solution. It makes me feel good when I get a lot of the same answers because it helps me know what might be the right one.
I don't want to read other people's answers because it influences my own. I want to give the person asking the question the proper respect they deserve by giving them my opinion. I have read other people's questions in the past and changed my answer. I think I did that person an injustice by doing that.
Just take it as confirmation on a direction, and be thankful anyone even answers your questions.

Just be thankful that people want to answer your question in the first place - would you rather have nobody reply. Okay we can't all think alike, but if there is a definate answer to a question (ie: what colour is a tree - Green) then of course you are going to get lots of answers that are the same.

I think a lot of people start typing there answers at the same time, and it just ends up like that. I know there have been times where I thought I was the first answerer, and then it posts and someone else said the same dang thing ahead of me. Just how it works sometimes, I guess!

Sometimes I answer a question an by the time the computer displays it there is a dozen others all saying the same thing, when I started there were no answers. Othertimes I just want the points

Because you'd get fewer responses, some Answers are similar but often with a little something extra added. What's the bet someone else tells you almost exactly this!! lol

It depends on how quick your computer is. I have tried answering and when i submit then i see that others have submitted just before me and they have the same answer.
But does it really matter if there is the same answer. It is a persons opinion on the matter, if someone has the same opinion you cant change your answer to something else.

Sometimes while a person is typing, other people are already posting their answers and some people might not want to edit their answers. Or simply they are in a hurry or just want the points

Honestly, people just want the 2 points and dont give s*&^ about the answere. Well I think that I may be wrong but its my opinion! There is an original answere I think?
