24 views came after the question was answered.

...and not everyone knows the answer to all questions.

...and a lot of us don't have the time to respond to every question asked.

And you only need the answer once - but if it makes you feel any better, they're called ball heads.
So there you go. Two answers that say the same thing.
I guess you now know twice as much.

I have only just seen the topic but I will answer it as well - ballheads.

Oh btw this is one of the best forums i know for getting answers on. You sometimes have to wait a while as people here are all over the world and it occasionally takes time for people to pick up on a topic.

I viewed it after Island Crow had answered your question.

Would it have improved the quality of your POTN experience if I had responded with "+1"?

I've only just seen this thread. The answer is 'ballheads'.

'Ballhead' always sounds like an insult to me!
