But honestly, couldn't you say the same about most threads in general? I know you could boil down all the threads in politics to about 3. What makes it different isn't really the advice given (which is often the same) but the situations of the people. And you never know, there might be some new wrinkle, or something that would cause some new discussion. And also, sometimes people just want a place to talk with people. In real life, if a friend asks a question do you just tell them "Sorry, this has been discussed 1,000,000's of times before. Please just look in a library/online for your answers"? I understand the desire to keep away clutter, but I don't think that individual relationship problems would be part of that clutter. The fact that there are different people involved is what makes the situations different.
