When someone asks a question on Yahoo answers
 

Or any other site, when there is a straight answer to the question, why do people keep answering with the exact same thing? Like this example here, the first person gave the answer, then 10 other people replied...........saying the exact same thing :conf:

some people are just dumb

Probably trying to get points or whatever it is you get for answering questions

Oh you get points for that? You should be deducted points tbh :pipe:

for points

Karl, stop copying Matts answer :bored:

I believe they are interested in collecting some points for the answer they provided

Niamh has already voted my reply as best answer

For points I think

hey look its miles

that's not Miles, is it? :suspect:

it looks like him

It's also dumb how people bother asking these questions on yahoo answers when you could find out in about 5 seconds by googling

lol, that's true, that's what I was doing when I came across that example I gave :laugh:

I think they get them for points.

Oh thanks for that Lucas, very informative :pipe:

No problem, anytime :pipe:

Maybe for points, but I'm not sure :shrug:

whats all this pointing too.

some people are just dumb

Yeah, it's for points I think.

Well, it's just for points, see. A bit like post count on here. Some people over on Yahoo feel the need to spam to high heavens just to get points that you can't actually do anything with. But that's people for you, I suppose.

I think it's for points! =) x
