...because:
1. You know the answer.
2. want to learn something new.
3. want opinions about something.
- why do you ask questions on Y!A?

Because I love reading all the many views and opinions of others. I don't know the answers.. for me it's like having a conversation over a cup of coffee with friends, many friends via the internet. It makes me smile knowing there are so many good people all around the world still.

(-: When I ask questions, I don't know the answer. I guess I'm interested in opinions. I'm not very religious, but oddly enough, I seem to believe that the universe throws things together in odd and interesting ways once in a while -- there's a theory that when you need something, it will pop up if you look for it.
So, usually, when I ask questions, it's more a case of testing that hypothesis. (-: So far, it's been a very mixed bag of tricks, but always been food for thought.
I don't think I'd look for real, 100 percent guaranteed answers here. I'd check any possible answers against other sources.

well, not generally because I know the answer. I ask because I have something to share, want to learn something, want opinions and other points of view, want to know if anybody else is as crazy as I am, or just because I am nosy. And because I like to get to know other people and communicate with them.

Most of my questions are in the DYI section. I am usually thinking my way through a project and want professional opinions and advice regarding my projects. I've gotten some really good advice and it has saved me a lot of time and money.

I answer far more than I ask..when I do ask it is because I don't know the answer, so I want to learn something..

number three i want an opinion and i find if folks actually read the question and think about it i get some real good opinions -- most of my questions are from talking to other age groups and i would just like to see if there is any difference from this group of folks!!!!

All of the above. It's also a good place to communicate with others, without having to get all dressed up!

Boredom. I have asked legitimate questions about needing help with myspace, have never gotten only one answer that helped.
