Who Is This Woman On Yahoo Answers?

And why in the hell is she giving utterlyboring.com as an answer with pretty much every answer she gives at Yahoo Answers? I'm about to head out the door here (daughter's x-mas show at her school) so I can't really dig into this too much, but I noticed a bunch of traffic coming from Yahoo! Answers through these links -- and I worry that it's going to look like I'm link spamming when I'm not.

Anybody else run into this? Anybody at Yahoo! seen this before?

Anybody coming to this site because of those links is welcome to browse around, but I'm sure you won't be able to find out what scaling is, how to find iTunes or where discovery/turbo is. Hopefully somebody's not doing this maliciously, or there's going to be a whoopin' coming somebody's way.

Update at 9:45PM: Let's just ask the Yahoo! answer community, shall we? (Edit on 12/22: Removed question I was potentially violating Yahoo!'s usage policy with that question, and nobody was answering it, anyway.)

Maybe she has a crush on you. Or believes that utterlyboring is like the number 42.

If this site is like the number 42, I've totally missed it, that's for sure. Maybe I should spend more time on my site -- maybe I would find the meaning of life.

Hi Jake,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are looking into this issue for you.

In the meantime, would you mind removing your question about the spamming activity?

It doesn't seem that anyone within the community knows who this person is, and your question could be targeted as a violation of our community guidelines.

To remove your question, simply click "edit" and "delete this question" on your question page.

I hope this helps,

Thanks,

Mario

Maybe your question was violating Yahoo's policy, Jake, but it was effective, now wasn't it? *grin*
