It's a synergy between people who have no research skills and people who have too much time on their hands and a desire to demonstrate their vast stores of otherwise useless knowledge. I proudly claim membership in the latter group.

Different people have different experiences, and know different things. Many times questions are asked where people need information. For instance I am English and live on the island of Cebu Philippines. So yes I can help with information requests on this or other topics.
Sometimes in perusal one comes up with a question and you think yes why is that, so you read the answers given.
Sometimes you have to think why is the person asking this question, and you feel sure the real question he/she wants to ask is different.
There are even people who go around being abusive to people who have given good information, obtaining two points, and not giving any useful information themselves.

Knowing everything about nothing is being expert at vacuums. Useful if you're a vacuum cleaner designer or want to do space exploration. But some people have vacuums for brains - but some questions are for fun and so are the answers.

Because people who know everything about everything would be on an intellectual site, didn't you know that, well I guess you are in the right place then.

ventcint, what's with all the questions, we're not all scientists and we're not here to prove that we are!
we know a lot of useless s***, so what, that's pretty much what this site is about, not proving what a d*** you can be to other people.
Davidk93, I'm right there with you. ;-))

Every answer makes sense to who is looking for that answer. There really isn't a wrong answer to certain things so it depends on what category that question addresses.

You obviously have an attitude problem. Just look at your avatar. I'm not a "know-it-all". I really do know everything.
