Why is Lawrence Louis Yahoo!'s greatest answerer?

Question

Is it because you studied really hard? Is it because you inherited high intelligence from your parents? What is it, that millions of Yahoo! answerers lack the depth and rational responses that you do?

You always give me the best answer for my questions. I need a friend like you in real life where I can just talk about life every night at the dinner table. If I were rich enough, I would sponsor you in writing a book about philosophy and have it publish. Although, I am a believer of God, I respect your rational thinking.

It will be an honor for me to keep in touch with you easier if I can get a hold of your personal email.

Thank you for taking your time to answer so many people's question and my questions as well. You are the best of the best like how they say your are.

Answer 1

I answered this question before, but just in case you did not get my response, I will post it here as well. Thanks again:

Well, I am blushing to the point that I am about as red as a tomato. Thank you so much for the flattery. It really does my heart a lot of good, and it encourages me to continue to post my comments on Yahoo Answers.

I find it disheartening when people on this forum are satisfied with awarding answers and giving answers that are totally devoid of thought provoking content, and sometimes this pervasive pattern, on Yahoo Answers, of being content with superficial answers, dissuades me from continuing my participation on this forum. Then, just as I am about to withdraw from this message board, I get contemplative souls, such as yourself, and other Yahoo Answers participants like those who go under the aliases Humanist, Z->Z^2+C, Erudite, Small, Just Curious, Self Righteous, UrgelWolf, and Anthony the Genius, who ask questions that are worth answering, and answer questions in an engaging style.

To these few souls I am very much in your debt. You stimulate my mind, and to me that is the greatest gift of all.

Now it would seem a bit self-centered, and self-aggrandizing, to answer your question of why I am the best in Yahoo Answers! I don’t view myself that greatly, but I am moved that you think of me so highly, but I am sure others will disagree. As far as where I get my dedication to giving proper elaborate answers, imbued with as much rational content as possible, I think that stems from my interest in the liberal arts. Though my college degrees are in the technology sector, my real love is for the humanities, especially, history, western philosophy, philosophy of religion in particular, and sociology. The only reason why I didn’t major in any of these disciplines in college is because the culturally rooted pragmatism, which I felt compelled to abide by, caused me to major in the technology field. Yet most of the literature that I read in my free time pertains to the liberal arts.

My family background does have something to do with the way I write, in that my father was always a lover of language, and insisted that our thoughts were expressed clearly and with justification. I suppose he has a lot to do with my love of history and my seemingly relentless preoccupation with religion. Unfortunately, much to his dismay, the love he instilled in me with respect to religion, history, and the study of humanity, did not bring me closer to his cultural and religious heritage, as he would have wanted. Instead my study, only made me find more reasons to discard with both. It is ironic that the very tools that a father equips their sons with are the very resources that could cause so much discord between them as time passes.

With regards to how to contact me, I will email you my email address through the email link given on your profile on Yahoo Answers. I won’t post my email in this answer because I think it is forbidden by the rules of Yahoo Answers, and I don’t want people spamming. There are people on this forum, who are deeply offended by my responses, though I don’t intend to hurt anyone. I am sure they will do many malicious things with my email address, had I made it public. I have tried emailing you before, through that email link on your profile, to ask you to open up your profile so that you can add me as a contact, or vice versa. I have yet to receive a response. By adding me as your contact, or by me adding you as a contact, I can better keep up with your questions. For the time being, I have to hunt down your profile down, and see if you have asked a question or not. By being part of my Yahoo Answers contact list, or me being a part of yours, I am emailed in real time, whenever you post a question.

I am looking forward to hearing more from you.

Thanks again,

Lawrence Louis

Could it be because he is the best at what he does?
