Not really enough points to get excited about, they are asking for some other reason than the max 10 pts per day.

Yes it is the points. Are you now hooked? Asking a question only gets 10 points. When this section first started there was a glitch and each question was 100 points. It was crazy the questions being posted.

Ten points.

However it does provide the platform for the those who respond to earn twenty five points, Plus an up vote and a encouraging comment.

The questions are offered as gifts to those who will answer.
