I notice that instead of a question receiving only answers, sometimes the question evolves into a discussion. Much like a forum.
My understanding of Yahoo Answers is the format is supposed to be Q & A.
Not Question & Argue.
Do you believe Yahoo Answers is now regarded as less a source of knowlege or opinion than a means to discuss items of interest and possible promote yourself to the world?

Yahoo answers is not supposed to be a source of reputable knowledge. Like a forum, it is a common place for every kind of person to disseminate their thoughts and ideas. What are questions and answers but the epitomy of human thought? You can't expect everyone who uses a service like this to give the most informational, educational answers and questions possible. People see words which pique ideas in their mind, and they feel the need to respond justly.

I like racking up points, since I will probably never win the lottery, it is one thing I get. Plus some of the questions are so idiotic, they make you wonder: "Are there really people that stupid in the world"?

theyre just thoughts and ideas man, it happens when the answerer thinks something isnt right about the question... but you do know that Y!A has a forum right?
