It's sad, but isn't it merely ignorance or even just a mistake, rather than stupidity? Ignorance is fixable, everyone makes mistakes, especially with new features (like being able to answer 14 year old messages, or search engines directing into forum knowledge bases with no expire dates). My inner optimist wants to guide the desire of these people to help towards a positive goal, but I can't quite see how.
