I know some questions are just asked as a joke, so that's not what I mean.
Specifially when it's someone asking about Health, Science, History, or something with a definate answer you can look up and claim as fact. Does it concern you at all to see them pick an answer as best that's not even remotely correct?
Yes I know many of you think I'm crazy... but I won't change just to be more like you! =)

Yahoo Answers is just a game?
So, those of us who are professionals shouldn't be answering?
I invite comments on this.

Absolutely! I find it irritating and ticked off at myself for even trying to help someone who obviously did really want a factual answer, anyway.

Assuming that the best answer is picked by the asker, then yes it does. This does assume, of course, that there is a difinitive right or wrong one. It does make me wonder why they asked the question in the first place, and whether it was a waste of time even bothering with a reply.
If the best answer is choosen by vote, then unfortunately it is a sad reflection on the other users...

Well often people will pick the answers they WANT to hear. Especially in the politics or religion sections, but it can end up applying across the board.
But hey - if someone is dumb enough to really rely on this when most serious questions could be solved by a little googling, maybe they don't deserve right answers!

Ya, it is kinda annoying that when someone asks a question and you answer it right but the person who answered it completely wrong gets the best answer
