Mainly because it is so interesting. We get people here from all walks of life, in all age groups, and from many countries. I find it fascinating. And, if I can be of assistance to someone somewhere that is all the better. Even if all I can do is put a smile on someones face it's worthwhile to me. Being housebound by a medical condition, Answers gives me something interesting to do on a daily basis, which is nice for me. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to ask real questions, and who give real answers!
Good Question... Star for U!!

For the sheer joy of practicing my typing. That and the points. But those are the minor reasons.
Getting to see and answer questions from all over the world here is a philosophical tickle. This site has shown me the real diversity of the human race. Man are we ever screwed up!!!
But it's a joy to see wise answers and humorous questions, and hysterical answers as well. You can run a whole gamut of people on this site and come away with new ideas and new information. You get to see that the world does not run according to your own perspective of the world. It's an education in social activities.

Q&A is the basis of education today.
Yahoo Answers is a helpful resource, it seems to me.
From time to time, there are some very thoughtful Qs&As posted at Yahoo Answers.

We are contributing our wealth of knowledge in various subjects to be of a help to others, and relying on others to do the same.
And sometimes it's fun to throw in a sarcastic comment here and there, too...

I do it because it is like talking to a bunch of people about interesting subjects. I work out of my house and it is sometime lonely.
