You know that Yahoo Answers, when you ask a question, provides a list of similar questions already asked and answered. Why not just visit them instead of wasting points asking the question again, often multiple times in a row?
Asking it again a few days later after it's closed, maybe, so that people will have a fresh viewpoint; but within two pages of a Question that's almost exactly the same? All that does is choke the category, making it almost impossible to keep up with all of the questions being asked.
Why would you do that?

*laughs* Probably, John. I guess I'm just trying to put up a roadblock.

Actually, Dawn, I haven't been on that long; maybe an hour or so. And all of it has been slogging through these pages trying to spot original, one-time-asked questions.

when I do this I post the question in different categories so that I can see a wider range of answers and I try not to ask questions that have been answered before or I will rephrase and ask the same question to bait more responses.
have a nice day

I try not to do that too. I also have wondered the same thing as you post. Maybe they didn't like the answers they received so they are asking the question again. Maybe they made a degrading comment and wanted to degrade and anger even more people by posting it again. Or, maybe they made a point and want more people to get their point. It seems like the question about "who made God?" or "where did God come from?" has been asked about a million times. This is all just guess work but it seems to make sense.

Mostly I see Atheist doing that, Over and over again, same ones asking the same questions, over and over again, They may word the question a bit differently from time to time, But still, asking the question, mainly i see this is because they have a hatred for God and are obsessed with the destruction of all things pertaining to God.
So...let the battle begin.
and like a thousand other soldiers on a thousand other battleflields, I await the dawn.

Any one who has that much time... to go back and read that many questions, or to re,re,re,re,re,re, post the same question... such a person needs proffessional help...they have no other life but YA... I have, most days, four hours of lay over that I use on a public computer... and I am luckyif I can read 10% of the non repetitive ones, let alone all the other troll and hate ones... and only answer less than 10% of the ones I do read... there does seem to be a group that simply lives their lives on YA... so sad...

Here is the deal. The same questions are printed up multiple times on the pages. The problem is no FAQ list to offer questions and answers that have been asked before.
If you notice, it is the same questioner and same number of answers.
This makes "cut and paste" though annoying, understandable.

So the drinking group can party!
Failure to use the search feature.
Failure to see that there is a search feature.
Not looking at the screen (click blindness).
They think it is the first time it has ever been thought of (typical with the youth).
They are the dull knives in the drawer?

Some people post the same questions because they want to see if someone has changed their mind, to get different opinions from those who did not get a chance to answer the question or to annoy people.

Because maybe they want to see it in their email. Why begrudge someone the joy of answers. Are you the one having to slog thru all of it?

Sometimes I ask the same questions over again because no one (or not enough people) answered it the first time around.

Why do people always ask the same questions over and over again?

It's a constant repetition. I am getting bored of it. First it was Anna Nicole Smiths death now its Britney Spears' hairdo. Who gives a damn!!! Maybe I am contributing to the madness. Anywho...My question is this.....CAN I BE A REALITY TV STAR?
If that broad New York from Flavor of Love got her own show, why can't I? I can yell and put people down just like she does! Do you think I have what it takes?
