Yes!

It has replaced the feeling of wanting a boyfriend. *roflmao*
Yahoo Answers feeds the ego because here we can actually sort of "brag" about what we know just by simply answering. It is a natural human condition to let out "psychological air". Plus it's simple and fast and it can take your mind off things. The rewards are also immediate (2 points LOL). Also, like any other internet community, you can meet new people, make fun of people, get sympathy, and of course, gain a lot of new knowledge. ;)

Any activity done consciously, with presence of mind , using the available intelligence , cannot become an obsession.
It can become a passion, and this one is a creative one !
Some physical discomforts could be in cases where users spend long hours at a stretch.. but can be easily managed..
In fact, obsessive people might find relief from their such nature due to participation , due to involvement of mind , and their awareness while doing so !

Yes it can become an obsession, but I think a better question is "Why can Yahoo anwser become an obsession?"

It can do, if you let it, and if you have something more important to do, it can become a terrific excuse for procrastination. Luckily, Yahoo post a little notice limiting users to 20 answers per day!
