Well, there are a lot of situations where someone thinks they know the answer, even if it IS a yes or no question, but they really dont and someone comes along and corrects them. You cant honestly tell me that you have never seen a situation on these forums where someone answered a question incorrectly.
Also, by me asking the same question on more than one forum site, more people will get to see the answer, and this will help them as well as me.
And thirdly, as you have seen, often questions/polls will lead to side discussions of issues, or spawn other questions that come up as a result of it, further benefitting myself and other forum-goers.
There are a lot of very knowledgeable people on this and other forums, and this allows their knowledge to be shared by as many people as possible.
