Just looked at the "unanswered" questions. They seem to be almost all anonymous. Any guesses as to why? Just seems odd.

No one really "likes" to answer the questions marked anonymous. :0(

Hi KB,

I also am reluctant about answering anonymous questions...unless I can see a clear reason for the anonymity. To respond to a question well, it is so helpful to look at the person's profile, and have a context.

If the Q is homework I will answer differently than a question that comes from curiosity...or from personal dilemma or distress, for example.

Especially on Ask, I went regularly to "unanswered," here I don't as much because of all the anonymous...

Lololol! Wow! Thank you so much both of You! 😀
I was wondering cuz when I can't sleep and it's 2:30 am here a lot of times Otis starts his fun questions and it dawned on me, He is an early bird where he is at! So that why I was always near last in catching his questions in the past. I think he starts about 5 or 6 for his time zone. So Tiger, you are about 3 hours ahead of me. :0)

I think that time and seasons, Earth rotation stuff, is one of the fun puzzles of Internet...I am thinking about posting a Q on poetry/verse in autumn, but realized that for Tris Fray and Dozy, it's springtime!

Oh and btw, Tiger and Y&Y, your notification did come through this time...

For me, it's not that they're anonymous, it's just that a lot of anonymous questions are...weird

99% are just from spammmmmers, under age kids joking around, bored teens and adults with nothing to do. 99.99% don't care about a real helpful answer, its just fun and games to them.
