    Ask - to get an answer to something or help with a project.

    Answer - to share knowledge and to help people get answers.

    Why did you ask a question?

    Did you ask to get an answer?

    What was the point of asking the question?

    Now... did you answer your own question?

    ... boggles your mind doesn't it?

    HMMM, for me, I asked my first question on Ask ME Help Desk to find others ideas on a particular subject, got the responses and thanked the folks.

    Others answered and I thought I could do this also so I became an answerer to the petitioner's

    Because sometimes people need help or advice and you are able to give that help or advice.

    Why are you asking this? Keep in mind, no one is forcing you to ask, and no one is forcing you to answer, it's up to you. You don't have to be mean about it, or insulting, either do or don't, we welcome any advice you might have to offer, if you don't want to offer it then we'll do fine without you, after all we've been doing fine so far.

    The point of asking? Well I think you can answer that yourself since you asked a question.

    The point of answering? Because you want to help someone. Most of the regulars who answer questions here do so to "pay it forward" for the help they got from others. Others just because they can.

    That's a interesting idea, people actuallly wanting help and others helping them, sounds too far out to work.

    People ask to find out the answer, sometimes it's easier to ask anonymously than to ask in person especially if you know that you will not like the answer, but you still ask sometimes just to hear someone else echo your thoughts, maybe hoping their answer would some how sound different.
    Some questions are professional ones which means they would cost you money you might not have, you need an answer so you would have to pay.
    It is also very interesting to find out other peoples opinions on various topics whether they be personal or events happening around the world it helps to broaden our minds and accept different peoples point of view from different perspectives.
    There are also many people who are housebound for one reason or another who need an outlet and this site is more than adequate for their question, answers and to make them many friends.

    We are all originals which is fascinating in itself...

    Asking - Because I get honest, wise advice and answers and have learned so much.

    Answering - Because - I have or may someday, be in these peoples shoes, and sometimes the fit is hurtful and tight, and we just try and ease the pain a little and give a little sense of direction.

    Lastly, at least for me, in my heart, a whole lot of people have taken up residence and I now consider them my extended family.

    I am so grateful for this site. And the thing is... the get me... and it's okay with them... that I am me.
