When you want to discuss something you believe in or something you experienced providing your own insight is necessary.
But no one knows everything, and there are times when you just want to see what OTHER people think. Maybe you haven't formed an opinion at all, maybe you want honest answers and don't want them skewed by reading your opinion. Maybe you don't even know where to start forming an opinion. Maybe you just heard about something and wonder if other people have more details.
What about THOSE cases? Regardless of the forum they're posted in, there are issues that we can be completely CLUELESS about yet still want to hear the opinions of others. I shouldn't have to spit out some random opinion just so that I can hear the opinions of others.
There's a line where it's obvious that conversation isn't going to happen because the OP is so boring -- but that line is too far out, especially when people are replying to the thread. It obviously had enough of something to spark a discussion.
