Every night I go through the "friends q&a", sometimes 5 pages allocation isnt enough and some have slipped off the radar before I even get there. I read through most of the 5 pages, and pick out some to answer. If I read a Question and I think I can answer I'll click on it, but usually if someone else has already given an answer the same as I was going to say, I'll pass on by rather than just repeat an already posted answer. Also to be honest, because I get here late at night NZ time, most questions have been posted about 20 hours earlier from USA and have dozens of answers already. I tend to pick out questions I think I can answer without being boring or repetitive and that have about 10 or less answers. Often I'll sit here and think of my answers but simply dont post them. I do read the questions tho :)

Some people have huge friends lists. They would never see anything else if they went through all their friends' questions.
As far as I'm concerned the friends list lost its usefulness when AB stopped notifying us of friends' new question - I haven't offered or accepted anybody since then.

I have to be honest and say its very difficult to keep up with everyones questions..usually I only have time to answer those on the list and on the main expert page..and as you know..they change quite rapidly..but I will make an effort now :D

On my AB usually there is only five pages and at the moment I cant access that so sometimes your question could have gone beyond that 5 pages

Well, what hours are you here? I'm here from very early morning California time till late morning..on occasion early afternoon. Then I leave and don't come back till the next early morning. By then you might have asked dozens of questions which I never see because by the time I check my friends Q&A (which is always after I've responded to all my feedback, which takes hours every moring) all your questions may have disappeared into oblivion since we only have 5 pages. I miss tons of stuff, a lot of which happens at night. I am never here at night. :)

Because the description "friends" for that list is a misnomer. It's merely a collection of avatars. +4

You're reading Why don't my AB "Friends" respond to my questions? A few do but most don't. I respond to yours most of the time. No hard feelings I am just curious. It is a dilemma for me so fess up :)
