I think people re-ask old questions because it is easier to get personal value out of answers if it is part of a dialogue. I can re-ask an old question, get the same old answers, but then respond with follow-up questions specific to my situation. It's also possible that re-asking a question is helpful in order to get a more recent perspective... maybe technology, gear, research, or other elements have changed.

many threads appear on these forums of the following type:

i am curious as to why there are so many threads of this type, when, i suspect, the originator of the thread probably realizes that there is no definitive answer to such a question.
