I ask when it occurs to me to, sometimes I write it down and lose it before I reach a computer. I’ll fall asleep swearing I’ll ask the jellies in the morning and inevitably forget. The frequency of your questions is surprising. I don’t think I could do it. :)
I don’t ask just to ask. I ask if I want to know something.
I suppose if I were a regular participant, I may need to stretch for one.
Growing up, ( have I ) my family were often annoyed by the number of questions I asked.
The majority of my opening remarks to someone usually start as a question.
However, there are tons questions I am timid to ask for the likely wrath and rhetorical dissent.
@Marina i dont either, thats why it was so weird that i had been 6 days since i asked a question, i was surprised that i had all the answers for so long!
I see no real need to ask just for the fun of asking. I think that’s how spam, poll questions, and other spam-like questions start.
And most of my questions are either general curiosity or tech support…
and marina about hit the nail on the head here
I agree with the folks that say ‘don’t ask silly questions, unless you have a real need for an answer’. I assume some people ask a zillion questions in an attempt to build their lurve score; that strikes me as disingenuous. The lurve will come, no need to rush it.
Being new or seasoned, I could care less about the score. I am captivated by the spontaneity, and how things are interpreted by others and what is interesting-it’s rather humbling, yet fascinating. I suspect my curiosity will wane; and, my questions will become more focused and deliberate and less frequent.
Looking at the scores, there are a whole lot of people who ask and answer a whole lot of questions, and have for a long time to get such high scores. So, a relevancy quotient or however you may term it for those who like to watch there box score, would probably be a plus.
Apparently, I don’t ask very many questions. I was surprised to see my stats on my profile:
# questions asked: 37
# responses written: 7475
I’ve been here since July 2008. I guess I’m much more of an answerer. Does this mean I have all the answers? Nah, it just means that I forget all those ‘great’ questions I think of when I’m not here. :(
Wow, your RBI production should get you into the Hall of Fluther!
I just spend waaay too much time here! ;-)
