  • I am answering your questions, all you can do is post them and see if anyone is interested, or knows the answer. Some times the reason people dont answer,is because they dont know the answer.
  • Note: The original question read, "How do make people answer my questions?" And yes, the original omitted the "I". You can't MAKE anyone answer your questions any more than you can make every car on the planet run backward. Your best bet is to construct a decent question, put it in the correct category, cross your fingers, and submit. Then, pray that someone who knows the answer is nice enough to take the time and go to the trouble of giving you the information. I'm not being nice, BTW. I'm experienced in asking questions that get rejected, LOL, and so I'm just passing good info along. You can make your questions more likely to be answered by making sure they're complete, and appear in the form of questions. Not to pick on you at all, but this question, for example, left out the "I" that should go between "do" and "make". Obviously that didn't stop me from answering, but some people feel that if you don't care enough to proofread your question before you submit it, then you probably won't appreciate the answer. No one's going to answer frivolous or meaningless questions, BTW. "Do you like me?" is a good example. "Am I cute?" is another. And don't ask questions that can only be answered by someone who knows you, or that leave out a bunch of information. Examples: "Two guys asked me to the same party, so who should I go with?" or "Can I afford a new car?" Those would show up on Answerbag for a few hours, but ultimately be rejected by the staff, no doubt, because I left out important details. Nobody's going to waste time on either one. Compare the more complete versions: "Two guys I really like asked me to the same party. How should I decide who to go with, without hurting the other guy's feelings?" "I just inherited a billion dollars and have nothing on which to spend it. Can I afford a new car?" Maybe no one will answer. anyway, but at least I provided enough information in the edited versions for someone to go on. Read this: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view.php/1417 Think about the question before you submit, and when you proofread, make sure what you've written is what you really want to know. Last -could you answer the question if someone else asked? Would you even want to? I hope this helps.
