I have been told the reason for this is a) the lack of education.
b) for a sense of control.
What is the reason?

To get it clear in the mind
Often new facts take some time to be assimilated or we need it from a slightly different angle

Some people are never satisfied with an answer unless someone believes the same way they do. Some people post questions just to see how many people will agree with them. Sometimes they re-post to get more opinions, or are truly not satisfied with the answers they received.
We have to understand that even though an answer seems thorough to us, the asker may not think so.

I think people repeat themselves because they aren't getting the answer that they want. They have something pre-set in their minds that they want others to say, so they'll keep repeating it until they get the answer they want. OR... they are obsessing about their problem and don't really want an answer. They get something out of the conflict rather than the solution.

Because they didn't like the question or maybe it was not what they wanted to hear, so they go on asking the same question until somebody gives them the answer that they want. So what is the point of asking it I won't waffle on any longer as I think that I have given you the answer that you maybe want to hear.

Perhaps the asker would like more people to get a chance to answer, they might then feel that they have a better idea of what most people think of their question.

The person asking the question did not get the answer they wanted.

Well, probably because the person did not get the answer they were looking for the first time??

Sometimes people just don't get the answer they're really looking for. Then again, if they know what answer they're looking for, why ask the question?

Both a) and b), plus boredom and lack of anything better to do.
