Would you respond to an exact same question asked in a discussion, if you have already answered it a few days ago?

Do you know how many posts are written with the same questions or on the same topic in the same hour let alone day or days apart? Think about it this way. It's Valentine's Day. Atleast ten people are going to make a discussion about it. They might write about what they are or aren't doing, but then they'll ask the reader "What are you doing?" A season premier of a popular show started the previous night, atleast three people are going to write a discussion about it. It's payout day on mylot, atleast 7 people are going to write about it. It's the end of the month, atleast 5 people are going to ask whether you made it to the threshold. A lot of these topics are written about within hours of each other. Not just days. As for answering your question, it depends on the topic. Sometimes I'll respond, sometimes I won't.

I will. As a courtesy to the person who posted it.

Come Christmas or any such event one will come across several having the same flavour As long as it is not from the same person I respond.

Yes and No Yes, if a person is serious to get answer and missed it previously, then I may answer. No, if it is same question answered many times; then I have no reason to answer the tape recorded question.

I do and it does happen often. It's impossible for everyone to know who posted what and when. We should all help each other out.

I would probably would just for the sake of earning.

Yes I would I have done it many a time over the years

I don't mind if it is different people. Sometimes its possible that we are thinking about the same kind of things as they others. I would surely mind if the same person repeats the question which I think doesn't happen here.

I usually do, if someone asked, possibly it's because the user missed the previous discussion.

Sometimes questions seem equal but after reading the discussions there are other things to say.

Yes, I respond to such discussions.

Yeah. Sure. Why not? It certainly makes the answer easier. And since it happens to be a different discussion per se...it has potential to earn for them and for us. So yes. I will respond even if the context and the content is the same.

Yes I have done it. There are discussions on similar thoughts and topics all the time. I don't mind responding to them as long as I am sure that they will respond back.

Why not? I would answer. We all know here, that interaction is important.

If it is an interesting subject them I will as it is a different person with whom I can have a discussion.

Sometimes I still respond to that.

I try to document most of such response online and just redirect people there.

There are so many people here that there is a high chance that more than one person writes about the same thing... and may have a very similar discussion. If someone asked a question in a discussion that I had answered already somewhere else I'd probably still answer it anyway.

I dont mind. I will still respond.

Yes as you said there are too much people here and too much questions, maybe we have done, answering the same question before...
