Is it okay to add random people to my contacts?

Do people here on y! add people to their contacts?

• i've been wondering if one can make online friends here on yahoo answers or why would you add someone to your contacts...i dunno

• Answer:

  Many people do add others to their contacts but mostly if someone answered many of their questions if you are wondering how to here are the directions: -Hovering your cursor over their avatar and clicking the Add Contact link. By doing so you are allowing that user to be able to see all of your Q&A and network because the highest privacy setting is "My Contacts Only". -By adding a user as a Contact, you will appear on their "My Fans" list. Likewise anybody that adds you will be on your "My Fans" list, meaning you can see all of their Q&A and network. -People often add others as contacts because they find their questions interesting.
