Question: Are you actually learning stuff from "Ask the Planet"? I'm actually having fun learning and researching stuff, however I noticed that alot of people give answers such as "I don't know" and "Who cares" just to get points. Are you actually learning new things and researching answers?

Answer: Actually, Ask the Planet is just a contest to promote the Yahoo! Answers site. It's not actually the site itself. And, yes, I have learned many things. I did so much researching when I started out months ago, though, that I'm now spending a lot of time answering similar questions to what I've already gone over, but I still find some great questions that are fun doing a little bit of research for.\n\nThe best part is getting answers from other people, though. Sometimes I get responses on here that any regular online research wouldn't be able to get me because these are people who happened to have first-hand experience about something which doesn't have as much documentation online. I enjoy adding a little something about my own personal experiences every once in a while because I feel that's what contributes the most to Yahoo! Answers.
