Why do people ask questions before they try the Search for Questions Option here?

simple!! people are just too lazy to do a laborious task like searching. that means using common sense - something lacking in cyberspace :)

Maybe they didn't like the responses the already asked question had and want new and different answers. I do think some people totally ignore the fact that the question has been asked before though.

Or

Maybe, they're just s-t-u-p-i-d.

I know, it gets annoying. For example I could search "why did Paris go to jail?" and it would probably bring up hundreds. I think people like the attention of having their question answered. They get a little kick out of people personally responding to them.

I already see this question a number of times. Why don't you try first the Search for Questions Option?

I don't know it kind of annoys me too!! Hahaha, maybe some people don't know they can search or maybe they are lookinf for different answers, sometimes theres a bunch of crappy answers. The only way to get a good answer is to ask yourself sometimes!

In some cases they want a personal opinion about something, or have someone look for the answer for them.

It's kinda fun to ask it on your own and get different ppl's thoughts and opinions.

Because MY question of "Does anyone have Hannah Montana's email address?" bears absolutely no resembalnce to YOUR question of "Does anyone have Hannah Montana's email address?"

The same reason you didn't this one was FOUR MONTHS AGO!
