Just Wondering

[HugoTafurst]

Why do people answer questions that have a specific answer with comments like"Gee, I don't know the answer, but I'll take a guess"?

Why not just wait till someone with knowledge answers rather than wasting time?

I'm not talking about questions about things that are open to interpretation.

I know when I post a question about a specific rule, I'm looking for an answer, not asking for guessing games.

I don't really mind wrong answers, if the posted makes an honest mistake, and like I said before, I don't mind opinions if the question lends itself to interpretation.

It's no big deal, just something that jumps at me on many boards - Just wondering....

Well Hugo, I'm not really sure how to answer this question , ....but ...........

Honestly, I think it's the 'want' of being involved, and people jump the gun. And, ...it's a situation where they can't be 'wrong' either ;)

Message boards would be pretty boring with 1 question, 1 answer threads. It's just the nature of internet forums.

I don't know about that.....

There are plenty of areas that are open to interpretation.

Since I don't live in NC anymore, it's perfectly acceptable to root for both. :D

Back to the OP...

I think of it as sort of liek a bunch of friends sitting around watching Jeopardy. Everybody's free to shout out their answer.

Perhaps if you deducted $100 for an incorrect answer. . .

umpire site guys, the sky should be described as "polo" or "powder" blue, or the new majestic "pro sky blue", as for shading, different makers, different shades. we all complain about who matches who, just a thought.
