AB Joel answered, Here are a few general things to keep in mind: * Be polite * Take your time and think it through * Good spelling and grammar help a lot! * Do not curse * Don't use all capital letters - people will think you're "yelling" * If it helps illustrate your point, include an image or a video * Don't just say "I don't know" or "If you do a search, you can find the answer" - It just isn't a very helpful answer, and oftentimes people are asking here because they've already tried to use a search engine and still couldn't find what they wanted. * Cite your sources - people are more likely to believe you if you can back up what you say. The best way to cite a source is to paste the link right into your answer * When giving a link to a page with the answer, also provide a summary the answer. This way, if the site you're linking to goes down, people on Answerbag will still get a good answer, not just a broken link * Stick to the facts - if you can cite specific facts, events, or your experience, your answer will appear more authoritative * Do not belittle the questioner. Everyone deserves an answer! http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/384185 Be sure to look around at other good answers on Answerbag, and you'll get an idea pretty quickly of what people like to see in an answer, and what they don't!
