No, not everybody 🙂But, if you've been following the discussions on some recent questions you'll note that some people take the prospect of a point very seriously.
I think the honourable approach is to try and answer the question straight away then, especially if you get it wrong. read the given reference and learn something.
But that's just me - people are free to approach the scenario as best suits them. Invariably nobody gets hurt.
You might be correct Richard, but since one of the aims of QOTD is to brag about your points (as the email says), then, new joiners like me with infinitesimally small points compared to others would want to climb up the Hall of Fame pretty quickly!
Show some mercy 🙂
