I think Aurelien Queffurust's answer is surprising and brilliant.

Although I thought more of "d: improve Matlab", I spent more time in the last months to try to "k: improve Matlab Answers" itself. The 99 answers in Walter's wish-list are a valuable model for anybody who wants to create a forum.

I'd like to thank the Hong Kong Cavaliers, without whom I would have had to AutoTune some of my Answers.

I've learned how to program in MATLAB pretty much exclusively from CSSM and Answers. The quick fun challenges/socialization with people from all over the world are an added benefit.

When Answers was first instituted, I didn't really see the need for it in addition to CSSM. But it does seem to have a bit higher signal to noise ratio, and I like the instantaneous posting (rather than waiting minutes for CSSM posts to show). I'll go with abcdei.

I like the formatting, ease of posting images, comments on a post, ratings to see what others recommend, and general layout. I do miss the fact that CSSM had many more contributors so I still read it occasionally.

I like some of the formatting. I would really like to be able to use markup in comments.

"To kill time" is it make it pass when you have to. Perhaps if you were waiting at an airport, you would kill the time until your flight by watching tv or reading a magazine. "To waste time" is to spend your time doing something other than what you should, perhaps logging onto Facebook at work.

@Jan, Sean answered for me and did a good work, I do find this place to be good for learning but most of the time we are answering repeated questions and things that most users would find on the documentation and/or newsgroups.

Is addiction a typo? If not, have my +1 to fuel that addiction.

why(416)

Or, failing that,
why(22)
The first two are actually fairly accurate! In many ways, I guess it's (h), partly by doing (c) and partly by seeing what MATLAB users want to know, what they're struggling with, what they're trying to do, etc.
But pretty much (a)-(i) to some degree, plus (j): I'm a massive dork.

I don't work with any Simulink experts, just a group of self-taught beginners. Answers provides me with a link to experts; several are active here. I feel obliged to help other learners and can actually contribute something because the same starter questions reappear often.

You'll find helping others really helps your _actual understanding_ as well!

b. To challenge myself
e. To seek help
I think the collective knowledge of the group of people that are on here can solve almost any problem when working with MATLAB. The real challenge, is effectively tapping into that knowledge.
