When these type of posts hit the newsgroup, everybody reads them. At times, the NG will ignore them, but if someone else answers a particular post, the NG will then review it for accuracy. If the answer is innaccurate, then someone from the NG will almost certainly correct the answer to protect the integrity of the NG. Then, a thread might ensue. ...

This is alot of work caused by someone who didn't take the time, at all, to read anything and posted an easily researched question.

Maybe if the people such as Sybrand didn't care that the correct answers are posted to the requestors, then you wouldn't get his replies. Its the fact that he doesn't want the wrong answers posted which keep him reading and replying to the same questions over and over.
