That was a long drawn out question, I didn't even read it all. Sorry.

I know what you mean. Sometimes they don't even answer the question. If your going to answer, then read what the person said or move on. Some people just don't have the patience to read it all, that is ok then there are hundreds of other questions with not much to read.

I know what you mean. It is incredibly annoying when looking through the answers to see what people have said, and then you get some stupid people that just write '2pts'... I mean, they're not even trying.  Usually, when I see people that do that, I go and see their profiles and other questions they've answered, and if they have several, I report them.\nIt's annoying, it's like they feel that's what the point of this site is, to get points... \nI say, if you don't know the answer, or are not even going to bother to try and figure it out... then don't answer at all, the point of this site is to ask questions when you truly want to find something out... and to learn what others think, and have to say about various topics and things.

I know that I don't usually because most of them already have several good answers. Occasionally, I browse and answer the ones that have less than 3 answers or interesting ones. Some people are too lazy to go to page 2.. lol

Because people are basically lazy.  Why write out a well thought out answer, when you can put a one word comment?\nI have had this happen too, I posted a stupid question just to test the theory and got more answers than any of my serious questions.\nHowever, there are some decent people on here that actually take the time to answer your serious questions.  In that case quality matters over quanity.

Why do I answer so many unimportant questions?\nIt's all just for fun,don't worry about the importance of questions or answers.

Sure do. After I answer of course. Sorry to all those who don't read the long ones...mine can be lengthy at times. LOL! If you think my answers are lengthy...you should hear me talk! Oh well.

Why do some people spend too much time on Answers criticizing other people whom they don't know; when it gets them nothing?

It depends on which side of the coin they are some are here just to kill time and get out their boredom indeed may not take things seriously , I would say just like there are answers like those there are questions who merely deserve nothing but those answers,Lots of ppl don´t even read the details, or read just so fast to move onto the next question  to gain 2 more points that completely missunderstand it.Some ppl have missed the main purpouse of this website by just wanting to gain points so is life huh? =)

Maybe they're bored. What questions are you talking about anyway?

if your complex answer to a simple question creates another question then simply your answer is incomplete .

Some people ask questions to try to prove they can set a question that people will find difficult to answer.\nSome people ask questions that they think they know the answer to anyway, to try to convince other people to think their way.\nIt seems a waste of time and points to me, either way.

Oh, sure.  I spent 15 minutes doing all the tedious work required for this uninteresting problem.  You copy the work.  Three days later, I find out you were too lazy to award me the Best Answer, which serves me right, I suppose - if you're too lazy to do your own work, you're too lazy to award a Best Answer.  Finally, I see the Best Answer go to someone with a couple of dupe accounts.  Not my idea of a great time.

Some people rush through their answers in order to rack up the points. I personally like to answer questions to the best of my ability. If I want to horse around I sometimes ask a funny and weird question.

Why would you waste your time to answer your own question?!?!?

If you can't read between the lines when I answer your questions, why do I bother answering them?

They're just lazy. But what amazes me is that people still answer them.
