Hey Diane, I just experienced some of the same thing, though I never earned any money for answering questions (well actually, I think 1 dollar and change from my current 4 dollars and change was from some past answers).

As for the questions, I have a little over 300 in less than a month, and things are moving slower than a snail's pace, as my recent story brings out. I'm glad to see I didn't misread things. Thanks :-)
