The problem is that for simple threads (ask question, get answer), they could be put in a wiki or BTS database, but they are easily searched with google, especially if the answer has a [SOLVED] prefex to the subject. Complex threads that end up answer the true question when the origional question end up being a red herring would have to get re-submitted to a database. Who will maintain that? As for any on-line wiki post a question and someone else will come along and answer it, that is for people who have always-on internet. Many of us on DU do not.
