I try to ask questions on things that people deal with on a daily basis, some that are just interesting, and some that make you think.

I place them in the best possible category, not just OTB. I try to write them without a slanted bias. I use good grammar, hopefully, and don't use abbreviations that annoy people. If I make a congratulation question for someone, I make sure it's for someone I care about and not just for points as the DRs will come at you if you do too many, people will think you are starting to be a Points Farmer:-)

Precise wording and most appropriate category

Another important thing here is to be a conscientious and responsible questioner - meaning - uprate the answers to your questions. I've noticed six, maybe seven specific users on AB who ask a ton of questions and then, they don't rate the answers. They usually won't even bother to acknowledge the people who answered. That behavior right there tells you they're asking questions JUST to get points. Very, very, poor AB etiquette. Word gets around, you know? Eventually, people stop answering questions from those users. Being a good questioner involves more than just the basics. Proper grammar, correct spelling, smooth word flow, and decent subject matter - those are important, sure. But sometimes you have to babysit your questions for months after you ask. When people take the time and make the effort to write good answers, showing your appreciation is a big deal. I hope this helps, Broody:)

Ummmm...nothing. To be frank, I just ask whatever I feel at the time with no real concern...sad I'm sure, but I know that people have lives, questions get missed and after a couple in the beginning that I DID care about, fell to the wayside, I just got over it and now am aware of what to expect. If there is something THAT important to me, I blog about it. Now that I am beginning to develop OL relationships with a few others around here, I personally check "Friends' Q&A" often because, generally, they ask and answer stuff I would too.
