Answer Please note that you do not have to respond to any question if you don't feel comfortable doing so - that's what the auto-rejection options are for.
People from all over the world use this website and you will occasionally get a question from someone who does not write or interpret English correctly. I am not sure if this was Nicole's problem, but in any case, you did the right thing in not giving out your Yahoo handle (or any other contact info for that matter). Let me know if she tries something like that again and I will block her from the site. As to the question from Drew, I really hope that was sent as a joke (if not, poor kid), but for those type of questions, feel free to use the "outside my expertise" option in the gray box on the "Answer the Question" screen to remove it from your pending queue. You can also use the "Explain to the questioner why you can't answer this question" option to direct the odd question to a more appropriate category. In Drew's case, http://www.allexperts.com/el/1009-9/Psychiatry-Psychology-General
