Most of the folks who first come to TTOL or may even be active on a different board on this site are looking for answers, but I think more importantly they are looking for feedback to their question at a personal level. Granted the questions do get repetitive, but I think a reader feels more satisfied when someone has read their post and more importantly took their time to answer.

A FAQ page is pretty impersonal and is one way communication. Which is fine if you are looking for the location of the bathrooms at SXM airport, but does not meet the mark if the question is where should I take my wife for a romantic dinner.

The new guy that gets a personal answer here is more likely to become a life long TTOLer and the more we all will learn from their experience. And maybe they will discover and share some place or thing that no one bothered to put on the FAQ page

Of course IMHO
