Do you think it is important to comment on answers given to your questions?

Aloha, I like to, then they know that you've seen their answer. I give them points too. I appreciate anyone answering my questions. Howzit?
-
I think it shows that the person cares more about each answer given rather than just asking his/her question for the hell of it. Does that make sense? A lot of times I don't comment on an answer even though I appreciate the response, so maybe I am just a hypocrite : I always give points, though (unless it is offensive in some way)~
-
Only if I see the need to clarify something or add something to the answer.
-
I always rate everyone who answer my q's. I only comment if I feel like commenting lol
-
I think it's the polite thing to do. You don't have to write a paragraph or anything....just a simple thank you.
-
oh yes .But i do anyway .
-
Yes, they took the time to answer so I at least give them some points.
-
Its polite to I think. It would be good form to rate their answer, just as it is to rate the question.
-
Yes, I do. They took their time to answer you and I think deserves an acknowledgement.
-
Absolutely, I think it is rude, if you dont. although there are times on here when AB has glitches, and you dont see some of the answers until later.
-
Yes. Absolutely. Period. Whether it is a comment or awarding points (some do both), it is just good AB etiquette. ;)) I dont always comment but points are always awarded, barring any truly offensive answer. Mahalo, Aloha Girl!

I always try to personally thank every person who has answered a question of mine. Sometimes there are so many answers that I don't get around to thanking everyone but I always try to do my best to show grattitude and appreciation for those who have taken the time out to answer my questions
-
I think it's important to make some form of acknowledgement as often as possible, it's the decent and social thing to do, but if ya don't sometimes I don't think most people would be horribly offended. It's not very important to me personally if I'm acknowledged for answering questions or not, I'm just content not to be yelled at and called names.
-
Yes Even if it is a day or to later;)
-
I think it is... It's the polite thing to do. I know I like it myself, so... ;-)
-
I do read all of the answers to my questions, and give points to almost all of the answers as well. I don't like giving repetitive comments to answers, so I usually hold off on commenting unless I really feel compelled to.
-
Absolutely. To me, putting a question out there is like an invitation. When anyone takes time to answer, it's polite to then "host" whoever "shows up". Points are a given, unless it's something way out there, offensive, etc. Nothing to do with right, wrong, agreement or not. More like saying "thank you for coming ... nice to see you .. thank you for bringing something to the Q/A potluck". :) I like to comment also and have been fortunate enough to run into some nice people and conversations that way.
-
Yep I do! :)
-
Only if you're not going to be generic about it. Just saying "thanks for your answer" is the same as ignoring an answer to me, only it wastes my time.
-
Absolutely. By points or comments. I try to at least thank everyone who has answered one of my questions, but even if I don't get around to commenting, I will always give points. The only exception to that is an offensive answer or an answer I have yet to see.
-
Yes, I think it's very important. I've also wondered if I should leave basically close to the same comment for each person so noone would feel slighted in any way. That one would be difficult to do because what could it be? A comment let's the answerer know that you were there and that you cared enough to comment.
-
Yes and I have every time.
-
Yes I do try to acknowledge everyone it is the polite thing to do. Those that I miss are always welcome to give me a nudge to make sure that I do not miss rating them. I will not be offended if I have overlooked an answer and you remind me.
-
Many times, here, I have read that people are distressed that their questions are not responded to. I believe that the answerers feel the same way, when their answers are not responded to. Yes, I feel that it is important to acknowledge an answerer's effort, because without them, your question is added to the "unanswered" list. Lately, I've adopted a new scenero, for me. All AB members, who answer one of my questions, I return the favor and answer one of theirs, if possible.
-
Yes. Its common courtesy. Someone took the time out to answer your query so the least you can do is thank them for it even if at times, the answer does not make any sense to you.
