Wouldn't be good, in order to ask a question in the ENGLlSH language section of Yahoo Answers, you had to choose a region first? And I don't mean choosing countries(the little flags down there) but rather regions like "Europe", "N. America", "Australia" and such...The reason I'm asking this is--without having no prejudice at all against anybody-- I have noticed an "attitude" from some American friends: when they post their questions they act as if the internet is all American. Of course Yahoo is American the language is English, the servers are in the U.S.A but how about the users?
Another approach would be, I think, for Yahoo answers to put some radio buttons for askers to choose like a "general interest", "American interest" button before asking...
