Why don't YahooAnswer have spreadsheet functionality? Wouldn't it be easier to answer questions requiring math?

The purpose of the site is to ask and answer questions, true, but in a standard text format. The code is already excessively complex and, as a result, the site has many glitches. Incorporating an entire new layer of functionality like spreadsheets would be catastrophic. And non-essential. We aren't supposed to DO people's homework for them; we are only supposed to HELP them figure out HOW to do it for themselves. That doesn't require a spreadsheet. Heck, they won't even give us the ability to do BOLD or ITALIC, which would be much more useful.
