Why is it that when a dingbat comes on and begins spamming with stupid questions one after another, that, instead of letting them fade off the main page, people keep answering them?

This whole lack of quality questions seems to be an on-going theme with you, so maybe my answer could help you resolve this question for you. As any trial attorney will tell you, people want to be helpful. No matter how many times an attorney tells his client to stick to "yes or no", the client can't help to embelish when opposing counsel asks a question that requires more than "yes or no". The same thing is at play here. People feel they are being helpful by providing information to the most inane questions.

I had not realised the spammer was a spammer until after I had answered what seemed to be an OK question. When I realised what was going on I ignored that user's questions. You have to realise that since the site is live, users are coming and going all the time, and many may not spend enough time to notice what a spammer is doing, thus they will answer what they see as a legitimate question. Most of the questions I saw were not bad questions, they were just inane and monotonous.

Because that is what this site is for. Define 'stupid question' for me.

I am too clever to fall into any trap like that, I didn't get where I am by being a Naïve individual. My radar is very keen & acute and I can smell nonsense out quicker than a cyber blood hound. I've already clowned more than my fair share of fools that think they can get away with Bull pies; not on my patrol. I believe in this site & I do what needs to be done to deal with those with malicious intent.
