Why do some people on this site want to email you without knowing anything about you?

I understand if they frequently answer the same type questions &/or share the same views on things, but it seems some people pick people to email like they are drawing names out of a hat.

Update:

As I stated above, it is different if you come across the same people when answering questions & they send you as message because then, most likely you have common interst. Through what you ask & answer people are going to get a general idea of who you are.

I am referring to people that email you out of the blue &/or ask strange questions.
