Grazie mille

That's true Ebenezer, I was leaving it to the respondents to decide. Daily, perhaps?

I'm one of them. I'm posting here everyday (you can check by clicking on my profile).I'm Yahoo member since Nov.13, 2006 and in nor 2 months I've answered to abt 430 questions (37% of best answers); almost all of my answers are in English, in this US section.(I'm not visiting the UK section as I've more feeling with Americans) .I've made 4 questions (3 in English and just one in Italian). For what reason I'm here ?? Here is my list:
1.- I've started at my beginning with Italian section but I've almost immediately stopped for the ugly number of silly,dumb questions and answers. Sometimes I read here people blaming for stupid questions but they should know here is a lucky island if compared with the Italian section.Probably this is due to the fact that in the majority Italian people using a computer are of the teen generation and then I can understand why they're so immature with their questions. I'm 62 and I'm bored with dumb questions and answers.
2.- I'm posting here since I'm fluent in 3 languages besides of Italian (English,French and Spanish) ,I'm also speaking, not that good, a bit of German, Portuguese and Dutch and I've also studied Latin. Visiting here helps me a lot refreshing all these languages and that's another good point to be here since this section is multilingual (while in the Italian section I'll say the 95% of the questions are in Italian).
3.- I love my Country and I'm happy to put all what I know about our territory at disposal of people who likes come here. I'm not jalous about all the beauties and work of arts that (lucky us) Italy can offer and I'm always ready to share a part of my free time to let other people know them.
4.- I hate people using on line translators and any time I see answers given just to take 2 points (I don't understand also this unreasonable race to the different levels like if there was a prize for the top ranked...!!) I advise as soon as I can the asker not to believe them .BTW I cannot also bear for istance that a native spanish speaker answers to questions addressed to us Italian by saying that our languages are the same thing.They're similar, that's true, but not alike !!
5.- Another reason is due to a wish of cooperation. In my life I've read tons of books and I'm happy to share my knowledges. It's also a kind of test that I'm doing also because I'm close to my retirement and in some way I must still have the feeling to be useful to somebody. A single thanks posted with a best answer rating is fully repaying me for the time I'm spending here.
I apologize for my long explanation but these are absolutely the reasons that have moved me to visit this section.
Ciao.
The check spelling is not working ; I beg yr pardon for any misspelling.

I'm Italian and I often visit this site because I like English and I've studied it for a long time!!!
saluti dall'Italia (even if I'm living in Austria at the moment)

Martox reasons are mostly mine, as well, although I'm still taking part in Answers Italy "activities" (mainly because I'd like Linux users could get adequate advices :).

salutoni!

That depends on what you mean by often.
