I can ask a silly question like this, and get 7 thumbs up -

But when I ask a sensible - albeit boring - one, like this -

I get the response 'Does it matter?' on the sensible one, but NOT on the silly one?

what makes you think the second one is sensible?
On the whole I think people use this site for either (1) amusement in which case they are going to go for the silly or sexual or (2) to actually find out something they need to know, which means they are asking questions not answering.
I try to answer sensible questions if I know the answer.
And always tell the truth if I am not obviously joking - and quite often go on and on and on - as I am now.
It will be intersting to see how many answers you get to this!

I'm confused. Normally sensibleness is the order of the day on Yahoo! Answers.

well the question you are asking now is quite sensible i feel. Maybe your siring clockwise question was just not quite sensible enough but spectacles it is known that it is a joke

Because nobody really wants to read the sensible ones. Or is that just me???
