I often have questions, but typically they've already been asked and subsequently closed unanswered with a note that they are a duplicate question.
Sometimes there's a link to the question it's an alleged duplicate of, but it isn't a duplicate (usually the older question is similar, but so overly specific as to not be broadly applicable) so that's not helpful to me. Sometimes there's just no link to the question it's an alleged duplicate of, but the alleged duplicate question is the only one showing up in my google search results so even if it is a duplicate I still have no answer.
Because of that, I've never bothered to pose any questions I don't find already asked on SO because I figure the same would probably just happen to my questions too.
