Why do people leave their questions up and never resolve them?

After a while people stop answering and yet they remain cluttering up the place. Is it too difficult to decide which answer is your favorite?

Maybe they're still waiting for the answer THEY want to hear. Sometimes it never comes...

dramaqueen82	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM Perhaps they forgot their question was up there since there are no email reminders that say, "Remember to resolve your question." Perhaps they are busy and forget about it. Rated: +1Vote for this!
mysticsovereign	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM I agree with you all - people forget, want their answer or are inconsiderate. Some may not really want to "hear" the answers, anyway, especially if it involves young romance.I have seen that once in a while, EP pick an answer to resolve the questions. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Samm199294	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM Speaking for myself (and I ! LOL!) I've only just learned that I can resolve them! I don't knowb how long they stay up for or what. I forgot about them once and, weeks later, remembered. Imagine my suprise when the answer was picked for me! Not a good one either! So....I blame being blonde! But I'm trying....

solarxmoon	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM after a while, doesn't the best answer just automatically get selected and the question resolves itself? Rated: +1Vote for this!
peterson1964	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM There are probably as many answers to this question as there are unresolved questions... But, you know what would be humorously ironic would be if this questions ends up being one of them... Rated: +1Vote for this!
Bob57	Posted Feb 5th, 2009 at 5:58PM Because leaving them up for voters to decide is also a reasonable option. You don't have to pick the "right" answer yourself. It resolves itself in three days unless it hasn't got any replies. EP could consider putting in a time limit on unanswered questions. Rated: +1Vote for this!
