People do this sometimes, because they aren't sure they were understood and they have a strong desire to make sure they got their point across.

We all know that person.
Perhaps this is an attempt on their part to put an issue forward so that someone else would pose a question regarding the issue, or ask them a question, the right question, one they have been waiting for,wanting to answer in order to give their opinion or express an experience. Is it possible that a person would want to speak on an issue but, would rather be thought a contributor rather than an initiator of a subject?
If I wanted to complain about my back, but did not want to appear as though it were a big issue for me, my asking someone 'how are you?" would then result in them asking me the same, giving me the opportunity I was looking for, to discuss an issue I would otherwise not be able to.

That person is usually called the "star" of the group and will ask the question multiple times in order to understand the question from many angles.
Perhaps you could listen to the answers and find a whole new way of thinking.
There are many "stars" on Yahoo answers

Because they don't understand the answer they are given, so they keep asking in hopes that the instructor will be able to give them a better answer.

They like the sound of their own voice. Avoid such people whenever possible.

They want to be noticed and feel superior.
