Hi,my dear.you may go to yahoo answer settings and privatize what you want and block others from seeing them!privacy right!

To make your profile private then:
- go to your Activity page here http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity
- click "Edit My Preferences" which takes you here http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about
- click the " Privacy & Communications" tab
- change "Share my Q&A with:" to "My contacts only"

This is the minimum about of sharing for questions/answer history and so long as you do not add any contacts then it will mean that no-one can access your questions & answers directly on Y! Answers

Note though that a lot of sites including Google and Bing crawl Y! Answers and pick up the data where it can be searched and there is nothing you can do to remove this. To make it harder then make sure you use a generic name or one hard to search such as "."

Put your privacy to me only or contacts only.

Here's how to do this:
1. Click My Activity tab
2. Scroll down to Edit My Preferences and click on it
3. Once at the Edit My Preferences page, click on the Privacy & Communications tab
4. Go down to the Sharing and Network section and select My Contacts Only to "Share my Q&A with" and "Share My Answers Network With"
5. Click Submit when you're done. The settings will take immediate effect from there.

Remember once your made your Q&A's private, only your contacts will view your posted content. The rest of the community can only view your profile and won't be able to see your Q&A's there.

Be forewarned, however, as your postings can be "googled" by people everywhere. They can also be found on your Facebook and Twitter pages, if you already have linked your Answers account with them.
