Earning Points? What does this get us? What are You Paying Each Month to Answer Quests Yahoo should be?

How slick is it for Yahoo to set up this little operation of earning/costing points with each answer/questions. Why does it cost to ask a question. Boy, if I was penalized in college for every question I asked I would have remained in the 'poor dumb house' as you're average apathetic 'riff raff'. Why does it cost more to ask a question than to answer one? What is it to Yahoo that we ask a question especially since we are the ones paying monthly fees each month. If we pay $19.99 per month for basic membership and then have a website hosting and domain that is at least $40.30 per initially and then $19.99 plus 10.31 comes to 30.30. In my case I'm paying $34.61 but have initally paid three domain and webhosting names and continue to pay fees. But just what I'm paying now I've given in one year is $415.32. With profit I'm creating for Yahoo/AT&T, it shouldn't cost me anything to ask a question. However, it makes me long for a better deal and once I find one, look out Yahoo I'm out!
