Question

Do you agree that asking other people to answer your question instead of answering theirs is bad manners?

Answer 1

Yes, and it violates Y!A guidelines.

Answer 2

Yes it is bad manners.  That's when I hit "Report It" and type in the additional comments section that they failed to answer the question.  Answers that post a link to another question get this.  Sometimes lame answers like someone who just typed "kkkkkk" followed by a "please answer my question" *LINK* may get it too.  Otherwise, if you answered their question, I don't like the link to your own, but I'll shrug it off.

I would love to follow those links back to that person's question and tell them what I think about them, but I don't want to be reported for my own answers.  :(

Answer 3

yes indeed.

Answer 4

yes.

Answer 5

But asking costs points, and answering earns them.

Yahoo has considered this.

Answer 6

You need to consider that that person may not know anything about the question you're asking and will probably give you a bad answer.
