I think there should be a rules-of-the-road policy in place that people looking for factual answers should favor heavily the first person that responds correctly. Each time I browse around here I continually notice a question looking for a factual response continues to get verbatim answers 2 days after it's been responded to!!! Is it just me or is this incredibly annoying? When you select a question to answer it indicates how many answers it already has, so if someone is asking what's 2+2, and you see it has 28 answers, what are you thinking responding here with 4? The only logical conclusion here is that you're fishing for points, Right?!?! You're thinking, 'maybe, if I answer 4 and then make a funny comment, or say have a nice day, I'll get the bonus points!!' what other logical conlusion is there for this behaviour.
Can someone please explain why this happens so frequently !!!!

Correct you are. I do most times to browse the answers first. If I find one that is exactly agreeable with me, then I don't answer. I am a newbie but thanks for the good tip.

OK, everyone answers without reading other answers.
(that's 2 more points)

I am going to think about this for a couple of days and I will get back to you.
