    I can't answer for everyone on here, but personally, I never ask questions that I already know the answer to. I think those that do, must be testing everyone else.

    because people like others to confirm how they feel or think. it's all part of the human experience. for example, "if you feel about something the same way I do, then I am OK" or at least that's what some people believe. it's kind of a security blanket.
