I&rsquo;m not a regular or anything. I crossed the 10,000 mark only a few days ago. There are those with millions of views per week. I&rsquo;m nowhere near, I&rsquo;m nowhere that dedicated to anything in the world.</p> <p>But I do get answer requests every few days. These range from &ldquo;okay&rdquo; to utterly stupid/obvious. I am against systems that make people intellectually lazy, and unfortunately, with Quora rolling out the Partner Programme, it is slowly but surely becoming exactly that. Instead of boosting reasoning and thinking, Quora may soon become what Yahoo Answers had.</p>
