Help answer this question below.

Does anyone ever go through their old questions and make sure that everone that answered you is answered? I am doing that today. I have a couple of hundred questions so I think it is time. Good idea?

Sweetheart, you have more free time than I have, if you can do that.
Still, it's the courteous thing to do.

- Since I retired from teaching in the college classroom, I told you I moved to the deep woods. In addition to taking care of my dog and six cats, I also take care of my daughter's two horses and oversee her 600-acre tree farm.
  Also, I'm writing three books, and I'm a free-lance editor for publishing houses.
  There's more, but it's for a private email, not for publication.
  In between, I sometimes find time to procrastinate.

- Sorry to make you go through this again. You did tell me. I love the deep woods, I love that you have pets and it's cool that you are smart enough to be a college professor. What did you teach?

- Well, love, as your cyber-lover, cyber-husband, and cyber-sparring partner, I don't mind sharing my feelings with you. It warms my heart to be able to do so.
  But most of those feelings are not for publication, but for your eyes only.
  I taught English: that includes linguistics, literature, composition, rhetoric, and ESL/EFL (English as a Second/Foreign Language). My work took me to several Middle East countries as well as two US States.
  What about you?

- Very cool Sandman. You should let people know these things about you as they make you very interesting and someone to pose other questions to. I agree with things that are not for public eyes but not your work resume in this case. You are not a director of porn films are you? No. You should be proud of your unique history here. The sad part is the nutcases that are porn directors are the first one's to proudly spout off what they do for a living.
  
  Me? It's personal. Just kidding! I've been a Court Reporter Hair Dresser and Massage therapist with about 100 jobs laced in between.

  I've also done many different lines of work besides schoolteacher and professor, including cowboy, longshoreman, and beer bottler.
  We're about 1,500 miles apart, but I really wish you and I could just sit down together and talk.

I was actually thinking about that. I've had some of my old questions from a few months ago resurface and found some answers from a month ago that I didn't acknowledge.

Yes , if I get a new answer notified I check right through because many notifications do not come through or I am off and miss them.

I do not like any of my answers unrated so if anyone sees any I am very pleased if the kick my shins.

Sure. And if you've risen some levels since then, you can uprate them, again, to your new level, meaning, if you gave them +1 the first time, and now can give +6, it will replace your +1 with the +6, thereby giving them another 5 points. Don't forget to do that, too! LOL ;-)
Comments
- That is kind of why I am doing it. Plus I want to make sure I gave everyone who answered the points they earned by taking the time to answer. Thanks for stopping by Big D.

Sharona, I've just discovered the wide and diverse field of questions you've asked (I love your profile comments, by the way), and I like what I see.

I'm still learning the ends and outs of AB, so I wasn't aware of the etiquette you've brought up here. I will have to review my measly Q-base and give the respondants their just desserts. Speaking honestly, I know that over time, I will not be able to keep up with the deluge of answers, comments, comments to comments, arguments, etc, etc, so I won't even lie, won't even try.

I have already thanked quite a few of them, but I tend to bypass off-topic or inane answerers.

I appreciate all answers and comments, even and especially from those who disagree with me, and those who show the maturity to enter into productive debate. I also like humorous, smart-aleck, and sarcastic responses (all of which I am often the perpetrator).

- Randy D. it's really not that hard to keep up. Keithold asks seriously hundreds of questions each week and answers each and every person. The more people you answer, the better chance you have of them being around to answer you in the future and friendships are made just like perhaps now just from this simple exchange. Thanks for answering.

+ to you, HARI, and all who have answered, +. Nothing is so ungracious as asking a question and not acknowledging the fact that people have taken the time and thought to answer, points aside.
PS- I'm quite certain we've all missed answers/comments, someone once informed me it may be a glitch?
Comments
- Sometimes when a lot of questions have been asked and one leaves the site for a few weeks or months due to real life interfering, it can happen. I am really interested in answering and ponting everyone who answers because THEY ANSWERED. I am thrilled when they do just like you just did. So I agree with you.

It's an excellent idea, because sometimes you get a response, but due to an AB glitch of some kind, you aren't notified of the answer being posted, and the person who posted the answer might think that you are (Gawd forbid!) "ignoring" them.

I really try to acknowledge every non-malicious response to my questions, and bestow points, also.

This is my 100th question. I have answered 3534 questions, a 3500% difference. I really have a hard time coming up with "good" questions. What does this say about my personality? Does this make me a "Know-it-all"?

Do you notice how sometimes your old questions sometimes "reappear" and suddenly get answered by a cluster of people at the same time, when you haven't seen anyone answer them since you first posted them long ago? Odd, huh?

Guess I asked the wrong questions today! Have you ever felt "kinda" leftout for a lack of a better word because no one answered your questions! I'm so hurt...crying as i leave here....thought people here loved old Cot..well, i just go to the golf course!

Why do the questions I asked a long time ago on AB (say 3 months ago) are hardly ever answered anymore, while the ones I asked recently are answered almost immediately and frequently?

When old questions come up do you answer them if you're not sure if you answered them before or do you look through the answers to be sure?
