Hhmmmmm ... does this tell us that some people don't bother 
to read the new messages in a thread ... or that they don't 
have sufficient attention span to read all of the new messages 
when looking for the solution to their problem ... or that 
they just want to go on record as having spoken?  

To answer your questions: Yes, Yes, and Yes.

Take a look over at the Berkeley Help Forum--dozens of separate topics
started all asking for help with the same problem--most with "error
100" in the topic title. Obviously, many people can't be bothered to
put in any effort at all to solve a problem.  What? Read one of the
other 100 topics?  Heck no, I'll just start a new one.......pretty
disgusting.
