Do serious answers tend to come later on Yahoo Answers?

It depends on what time of day you post.  If you post in the morning or afternoon a lot of times you'll get better answers.  Also, some people try to get stuff in really fast to get points.  The more thought out answers take time to write so they end up after the quick ones.

Maybe not (don't know actually) but you could edit your answers to respond to another answerer as long as the Q is still open.

Yes, especially when it's your answers!................:)

Just let it set for a few days.  A lot of people look to answer questions in certain categories, so be patient, as you don't always get instant answers in here.

Not yet, but if I stay on here long enough and get to know the answerer's, I could see that happening.For now  I am happy when I get knowledgeable or witty or even funny answers!

I can't speak for anyone but myself.\n\nI find a lot of satisfaction in answering LEGITIMATE questions posed by people who are honestly looking for information.  Many times I find folks who'll post an answer with vulgarity or their version of humor when it totally uncalled for.  I will not post an answer if I'm not pretty sure I'm passing good, solid answers or common sense opinions.\n\nMost people, well...just about everyone who has picked my answer as "the best" have been quite gracious with thanks.  I get a lot of satisfaction in thinking that I've helped someone out, no matter how small the deed may have been.

let me explain it with an example....suppose you are evaluating a few answers and you see quiet a few answers that makes no sense and after that you see a answer that is a little better....you may feel that this is a really good answer.....this is contrast effect....remember milk tasting sour after eating chocolates?

If most of the questions are still open, be patient.  Some of my "best answers" came more than a week after answering.

I totally agree with you. Many a times, serious, genuine questions get no responses at all or get answers like 'sorry, I don't know'. Ask a silly question and within minutes you'll receive hords of silly answers.\nApparently, people are using this site, not for getting answers to questions, but to have some fun.\nMost of my questions do go unanswered. But, I wouldn't say the whole system has deteriorated as I'm still managing to get some decent, appropraite answers to some of my queries. I guess what has happened was inevitable.

I like Yahoo Answers and you made me smile with your comments.\n\nPeople can get trapped in answering a question. They can wander...get off Topic...all of that.\n\nThis question is all about you:)  You want your questions answered fully...and I agree with that.\n\nHowever, many times the answer to the question is all about you or me.\n\nSmiles again. I hope that I was focused in my answer to you.\n\nChow. :)

Yes.  It passes the time, and sometimes answers do help.

Don't take the answers so darn serious as there are a lot of people on here who are very immature and say anything that they think is funny.  But there are others who think about the question being posed and then try their best to answer it reasonably and with some dignity.  So you will regain your self esteem and just don't be so sensitive when reading what some clowns answer to your questions.

Sometimes...it depends on who sees your question and answers it. Also, sometimes I just want to get peoples' opinions of something, so in that case I am happy with the answers. It opens my eyes to the way other people think about things. It can also be quite entertaining.

I read the question and look through the answers to see if there are duplicate responses.  I'll answer if I don't see any.  But I take so long to type that when I'm done, there are tons of responses that I now just give up reading the answers and just respond if I have something I'd like to add.

I know this is for fun, however I asked a serious question and some of the answers were rude or generally way off the point. I think some people enjoy putting others down sadly. When I answer a question I make sure I know some facts that are relevent to the question, otherwise, why bother lol
