I've really been thinking about this questions page feature a lot.

It's so cool (and maybe addictive/intoxicating) that it's possible to have this interaction with you. It's a game. Do you think that this could explain the repetitiveness of the questions; people are more interested in the interaction than in getting answers?
i don't think the repeats are coming from the same person. i think it's new people asking the obvious first questions
