I hope they don't think we all are idiots; who are overly well represented on Yahoo! Answers.

I would guess that this is the case, but do you know any specifics?
I also understand that Y Answers originally planned to delete answers after a month or so, which would be very reasonable considering the volume. They changed this policy for unexplained reasons.
If you're right, it's just another misuse of law enforcement resources. There are more fruitful sites - such as the goth web pages where the Montreal killer declared his intentions several months in advance and posed with rifles and knives.

i'm undecided approximately what the popular public opinion is. I quite see what fairly some human beings think of at right here, yet is that reflective of the the remainder of society? i don't understand. There quite looks no enable-up interior the yellow ribbon, soccer endorsements, t shirts, web content, public constrained fund, media saturation, and television appeals hysteria. it form of feels there are nevertheless plenty obtainable who won't be in a position to work out this for what it has exchange into. i think of the McCann kin (and that i don't in hassle-free terms recommend the mother and dad) have made a grave errors of their coping with of this. there is this form of ingredient as a dignified reaction, and this finished marketing campaign has exchange into an entire spectacle, which i think of is finally going to tutor the popular public against them. that's a shame, via fact on the centre of all this may be a lacking infant, and that i think of it quite is unquestionably going to get overshadowed very quickly by ability of the huge and over the ultimate campaigning. I recommend, what's the component to donning a t shirt of her interior the united kingdom? She's unlikely to be right here, is she? How can they justify the money they have spent in this? quickly sufficient, i think of this might all turn back on the McCanns, and that they are going to then ought to respond to to fairly some grievance. they are going to ought to justify their preliminary abandonment of their toddlers which began all this, besides as their extraordinary dumping of the youngsters in creche all day, the two formerly and after the kidnapping, plus the completed group McCann battling Fund fiasco. communicate approximately making a rod on your guy or woman back! None of this has helped to hit upon Madeleine, which in hassle-free terms the police are quite geared up to do. each and all the money, the t shirts, the appeals, the action picture star involvement, etc has performed not something to maintain any further advice. It has in hassle-free terms served to make the popular public thoroughly sick of the completed affair.

I don't think so. There is not a cross-section of the public at Yahoo answers. You don't know their ages, whether they're registered to vote, or what country they're in. Therefore, the results of such "monitoring" would be useless.

Just like most big blogs and message boards. The two political parties and organized labor pay their people to monitor and troll the sites. It used to happen on Usenet and BBSs when they were still relevant.
Some of the devious ones gang up in wolf packs to drive the sane voices of opposition away leaving just ranters and those who agree with them.

I expect so. As long as people check out people, we can count on uninvited guests reading our entries. After all, it is Public Domain.
Do you imagine 'public opinion' is the only motive?
Muah-hahaha.

I am sure they do.... or might but I am not concerned. These are just opinions. Our opinions and interests are used for a number of things. It is a good thing.

I would imagine it is used to see what kind of arguments are going to fool the neocons into voting rep again. It's sad but there are always dumb people...and they vote.

No. But now that you said something about it, this is a perfect place to conduct surveys.
