I've answered about 20 questions. Gotten 3 ratings and one thank you. I started doing this cause I like giving advice and helping. The problem is that we don't even know if the person who asked the question even saw your answer. The only way to know is if your answer is rated or you get a thank you. I feel like I spend a lot of time on here and I'm just giving advice to nobody. It kinda takes away the whole "helping people" if you don't even know they read your answer. Sure, its good practice to answer some questions, figure things out about myself. Just not sure if its worth the time to keep answering questions that may never find their target. Maybe I'll look for a site that tells you the person read it, at least. Feeling a little discouraged. (link)

Most like they come back and see you answer and just never respond because their itching to get back out there and apply the advice!
Even if they didnt come back and let you know how it worked out or rated you or anything it still helps that people who lurk and read what you said get to see it and apply it to their own lives if they ever come up on a similar situation can use.
your adivice still gives not only the person who asked but readers here the TOOLS to be able to go forth knowing what to do should they encounter something like what they read abotu on here that someone ELSE posted. ; )
helping people is what its all about. not racking up points my friend.
