In all honesty, I usually only answer when I think I can offer something of value or really help someone out. I try to generally focus on my areas of expertise and avoid the rest.
Actually, for this reason I generally avoid the polls and surveys section of the site, because it only pulls down my best answer percentage, which by doing mostly only the above I have been able to drive into the 70's. I don't care so much about points, it's having a reputation for good answers that I like to shoot for. (I'd also like to get on a catagory leaderboard or 2.)
I honestly get a tiny rush each time an asker actually picks my answer and I'm always looking for that next "fix" as it were. ☺
Occasionally, though, just for fun, it's nice to tackle a few "survey" questions, and that's why I picked your question!
(I hope that doesn't make me a troll... I am not sure what a troll is...)

All of the above, except with this answer. It's not good enough to get the "best answer" but i'm gaining points and helping you by answering your question.

There's no point in answering to get best answer, because often times, the best answer is not chosen for it's thoughtfulness but solely because it is agreeable to the asker. In other words, best answers are answers that the asker wants to hear.
I answer questions to express my opinions, and it's a take it or leave it situation after that.

I just come to let off some steam. I don't care about badges, points, contact lists, or anything like that. Sometimes I'm helpful, but I just pretty much stick to sarcasm and wit.

I didn't come here to be popular and if I can share what I know and give a good answer the rest is left up to the asker.

I try and answer the question sincerely. Of course I always hope for best answer, sometimes it happens and other times not so much.
