why do people waste five points asking the same questions as other people?

I have no earthly idea. I've wondered the same thing myself.

There have been days where I've seen the same question posted about a 100 times simply because people don't take the time to check this site out to see if there is a problem. (Like a couple of weeks ago, when the mail system with Yahoo! went on the fritz.)

why not? I have had people tell me to stop asking the same question over and over and wording it differently. The thing is that I have no family around and not many people to 'sort' things out with. So to me, I have unlimited answers and questions.. I just ask.. what is wrong with it? It is not hurting anyone.. and I can ask questions, even if they have been asked before because that is what this site if for.. so I can get personal feedback

For the Answers!! Same question....different answers! Part of the fun!!

No sh*t. I've like seen 50 questions asking "what's your favorite quote?" and "What song best describes your life?"

Do you actually think that nobody's ever asked this question before? Huh?

Ahhh, maybe to get different views of different people, its fun too!

oh...who knows...they have nothing better to do?
