Questions Awaiting Answers
I have been gone for several years and just getting back into the swing of things -- maybe. I notice that there are 6000+ questions awaiting answers!
What do you estimate to be your percentage of questions you gave the best answer for, but never got the points?
Personally, it is more important for me to add to my stock of quick-answers so that I can use them on-the-job, but I do like to be rewarded points for good work.

Does anyone ever go through and clean up, awarding points, etc. What if it is obvious, can it be submitted to the Community Support (Cleanup) area?
Any idea how many of your answers are "wasted"? For example, about 30% of my eBay transactions never end up with feedback (positive or negative!) for me. So, I can estimate that I have almost 50% more transactions than the number of feedbacks that I have.

Hey Randy,
I don't participate nearly at the level that I used to. Honestly, I've noticed a decline in the lure of the site. Most questions are just regurgitations of what has been asked before...they just aren't as fun and interesting as they used to be. There also seem to be more proprietary-type questions, "I have X device using this third party control from Y..." which have little appeal to me.
I don't think I have a whole lot of questions I've commented on that have just have been sitting gathering dust. There are a number of "cleanup volunteers" who attempt to page through old questions to bring them to some sort of conclusion. But, the increased number of questions asked, plus the fewer number of experts answering, leads to this overflow. You don't see the likes of wsh2, Ark, ameba, etc. like you used to.

Things have changed a little here over the last year.
-You can only post comments (no more suggested answers).
-There are a lot of people that comes in, ask a question, grab the comments without leaving feedback and never get back to the site!
