text: do you think it's sad that people here are worried more about getting 2 points then gaining knowledge? i started to fall for it, almost brain washing i think about 1/3 of the people come one here for a legitimate reason....to gain knowledge about something they know thing about, need help in, etc.  i found this site by accident, trying to help my daughter find an answer regarding algebra (not my subject, just ask the teachers i had in high school).  read all the info about how to get points so you can ask more questions if you so desire so i figured i would answer questions, etc. just in case she needed more help with something i can't answer.  i saw some really stupid questions, and i had to laugh when i saw a lot of people giving dumb answers or just the typical "thanks for the 2 points" answers.  i don't even bother with them.  yeah, i could get 2 easy points but like i said i don't bother with it.  it's kind of pointless.  this thing can be addicting as far as answer questions (good or stupid) and really wanting to help someone.
