Why do people post the same question twice?
I've seen people post the exact same question two, three, even four times after I've answered them. I'm fairly new to this game, does someone want to elaborate for me?

Welcome to Yahoo. Some people ask the same question for years. Some asks the same question 20-100 times. Some asks the same question twice, because it doesn't show up right away, so they think something went wrong. And, most often, some ask several times to get as many different answers as possible or the answer they wanted. (The answer wanted doesn't necessarily mean the right answer.) So, welcome to Yahoo. lol

Some trolls will do that and get suspended and come back and start it again.
One person has been doing that since i have been here almost 7 years, not sure if trolling or caused by a mental disorder.
They always get answers so no reason for them to stop.
As long as users will answer their questions over and over then they will keep it up.

Maybe they didn't get the answer they were looking for. Was it really worth the effort of asking why though? -__-
