Invalid question. There is free will.

The existence of or lack of freewill has nothing to do with who is answering your question, but rather why am I doing it. I'm answering this question cause I'm in the mood to do it, and I have an answer. What put me in the mood? Well I'm bored. Why am I bored? because it's monday and the drink specials don't start for another hour.
Freewill only exists if you believe that no being has a perfect knowledge of the future. An all knowing being like God is contradictory to the idea that freewill exists, so I leave the choice if there is such a thing to you, do you have freewill or does god control your destiny.

well, the thought that you brought this question up....
however, the choice of the people that will answer your question will go in one way or the other, no matter what, your question will be answered or not, there is no free will in that...
do you expect an answer, do you expect good answers?
or leaving a question blank....
the point is you can't control us and we can't control you, thus I can't make you pick this answer to be the best
there is no free will in that and I have no right for saying that of this....

Free will does not answer questions.

Those people--like myself--that are conditioned to respond to the questions. Not those who think they choose to.
Without free will, there is merely cause and effect. Your act of questioning (caused maybe by curiosity) leads to the effect--the message that is typed here, now.

Yes there is free will. My experience of pushing my zen thought to the ultimate end of questionning, was that i had knew that i had the final choice of saying yes or no to existence and i chose to keep that option.

Ah, but there is free will. We can do whatever we want to do, and I do love to answer your questions.
