Social Q&A site Yedda (competitor to my own site Answerbag), sent me an interesting email today. For some reason, “based on the information in my profile,” they think I know something about “that smell.”

First, congratulations on your recent transaction, and good luck!
As for this question, I believe that the more important question here is how come you were personally invited to answer this incredibly important question – and did not answer yet! Looking forward to seeing your answer on Yedda…
As for why you received this one, I guess that the Yedda active distribution system figured out on its own that it’s a pretty good match for “tool, basketball, and (?) perfect circle”. Perhaps we should change our slogan to “Interested in silly topics? Get silly questions!”
I noticed you did get pretty good answers though for the infamous “why is the sky blue”…
Hi Yaniv. While those items may seem random, it’s because they’re references from American pop culture – “Tool” and “perfect circle” are two of my favorite bands. ; )
Hello Joel. I’m sorry, but this may be stupid, but I couldn’t find your e-mail anywhere, so, I’m leaving you a message in hopes that you will e-mail me back. I need help with your site, answerbag….You see, this isn’t the first time I’ve had this happen to me… I made an account, and everything would be fine, and then one day I would try to login, and it said, “ERROR – Incorrect Username or Password”. Now, I had logged in several times before, with no problem. So, I decided to try a different aproach..”Tip: If you can’t remember your nickname, try using your email address!”. So I tried that, and then I realised that I had put the wrong e-mail. I hadn’t noticed until I tried to e-mail it. So, I just decided to get a new account, and I used the right e-mail adress this time. So, I was really getting into it. I was using it for quite a while. And I know my password. I didn’t forget it. Anyways, about a month later, I went to go login, and sure enough, there was that error message again. And it wouldn’t let me login. So, I tried entering my e-mail, and that too failed. I don’t know why this keeps happening to me. And I don’t want to make a new account, because I liked my “Castrate” account. Please e-mail me back, so we can work this thing out. I really would like to login to my good old castrate account again. Any info you need, I will give to you by e-mail. By the way, the e-mail I used with this comment was also the e-mail I used with my Castrate account. Talk to ya later, bye.
Castrate: please file your request on the “Feedback” link at the bottom of the page on Answerbag. Thanks!
