@SteveBennett: This whole topic is about the respect you show other members of the community. Everybody's question is the most important one and has to be at the top, so everybody must see it immediately when they visit the site. But that's just not how the site works. Everybody gets their share of attention. If you want to get more out of the site, you also have to put more into it. So, yeah, it may result in "the same thing" for the person that asked the question. But it's not only about the single person on this site.
