I usually check when I first sign on to Yahoo messenger because it tells me if I have any new e-mails. A suggestion for you is to maybe respond to those people who you regularly see on Yahoo Answers. People come and go so often that some may have left by now.
My e-mail stopped working for around two weeks, and I got an upset e-mail from a contact telling me that I hadn't replied to her messages, she thinks I ignored her. Of course I told her that my e-mail hadn't been working and the situation was resolved but I still feel really bad. I have to check my e-mail all the time, I do love getting messages from contacts though.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
