Q but not sure about the A's

Have tried a couple more questions on Yahoo!7 Answers with varying results. Have had one or two reasonable answers but a number of frivolous if not downright rude responses. I can see the value in this type of service but I wouldn't take it too seriously. After all the answers are obviously provided by the general public who do not necessarily have any expertise in the particular subject area. I think I will stick to the Ask a Librarian sites.

I wondered if libraries might post answers to these answer boards as a marketing exercise - reminding people that quality answers can be found in libraries?
