Only the first question is relevant.

Maybe more. And all it means is that they have nothing better to do than hang around tech forums all day.  :-DD

Yep, too true, I keep trying to kick the habit.

OMG our number of posts is too high? Meow.

OP, the only way to up the quality of new threads is to give people a hard time right off the bat, scold them for not posting details, schematic, requirements etc.

Refrigerator:
Or on the opposite end you have well described posts that noone reads fully and posts replies that have already been answered in the first post.
Example:
Thread: "fixing something"
OP: "i tried turning it off and back on again and it didn't work"
Reply: "Have you tried turning it off and back on again?"
