Why don't people write answers?

Answer 1

People don't write answers to all questions because:

• New questions are always being posted.
• "Old" questions even from an hour ago add to the 'unanswered' list.
• The answer depends on who finds the question.
• A person may not know an answer to that question so it gets skipped.
• There are more people asking than answering.
• Some questions need researched.
• Some questions need more research.
• Some questions need highly technical answers.
• Some questions can't be answered.
• Many questions have more than one answer to give.
• People answer what they know easiest or quickest.
• Some people may be disinterested in a subject/topic.
• Some people may be bored by a subject/topic.
• Some questions are nonsense and are moved off the site.
• A person must be able to read and write in another language on some questions.
• Sometimes we have to figure out what the Asker is asking.
