How can some contributors here answer so many questions yet resist the temptation to ASK even ONE?

Answer 1

When I have an intelligent thought provoking question, I'll ask it. Until then remember the old adage....It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt. :)

Answer 2

At this point, while I have plenty of questions, I do not believe that I would get any sensible answers from anyone here, as the questions would be about events here and now and rather specific, like where did I leave my pen, and the Yahoo community would not provide me with any answer that would assist. Better to ask my secretary, wife or kids etc., whichever is more likely to have an answer.

The level of knowledge deprivation displayed by some of the people asking questions is staggering, and I feel it my civic duty as a human being to help share knowledge wherever I can, to help remove some of the darkness of missinformation and ignorance. Knowing full well that my efforts are going to make minimal difference. But fighting the good fight against ignorance one question at a time, is at least making an effort.

Besides, have already done my bestto assist in educating the masses by reaching out to the whole of my adopted country by contributing to the design and contentof their whole school curriculum, and by getting involved with distance education, adult learning course design and even writing books.

So you can see I can't help it, its compulsive.

Answer 3

I'm not tempted, I just really don't have any questions that I think anyone here can answer better then I can or if I can find by searching out the proper expert sources.

For instance in the is category, 99% of the answers here are just someones opinion. Well everyone has an opinion, and I trust mine before others that I don't even know.

Answer 4

What temptation?
When I want to know something, I look it up or go to a professional.
At this point, I don't have many questions.

Answer 5

I have asked questions but I hate parting with 5 points to do so. Whenever I ask, I quickly answer so I make my points back up. I'm desperately trying to level with my friend. She's on 3 and I'm only on 2. Sad I know.

Answer 6

Some of us just don't have a question to ask. I have only asked two or three questions. As an older person I prefer to answer than to raise a question.

Answer 7

The level of questions here are, for the most part, so adolescent, that I would be at a loss to match their "depth." You see, I am among a very auspicious category of person--the Know-it-all--who usually are slightly socially awkward and spend much of their childhood correcting the inane misconceptions of their peers (and of adults). My nickname in elementary school was "the Dictionary." I informed my semi-literate classmates that the proper title would be "the Encyclopedia" because, although I was the city spelling bee champ, my purpose among them was to provide information from the vast store of information that I file in my brainac brain. They persisted with the "Dictionary" taunt...Idiots. Experiences like these over the years, lead we KIAs to the understanding that everyone else is pretty much an idiot and not to be trusted to give advice. Instead, we solicit opinions from other KIAs with expertise in fields different from our own. The risk here on Yahoo Answers, where we shine in our KIA-ness, is that an idiot will attempt to answer our astute inquiry, thus driving us away from humanity and toward endless disappointment at the idiocy of the masses.

Answer 8

I Try to resist the temptation! It's very hard... LOL!

Answer 9

Because you have to pay 5 points to ask

Answer 10

Why ask the question when you already know the answer.
