Super User *Hootie Posted February 13, 2015 Super User Posted February 13, 2015 I've noticed that sometimes when a member posts a question, there will often be someone who will answer,...."I don't know, or sorry, I can't help you". Just wondering, why did you even respond? Hootie 1 Quote

Super User flyfisher Posted February 13, 2015 Super User Posted February 13, 2015 maybe it is a question they are also wondering about and by responding, it bumps it to the top of the forum. 3 Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 13, 2015 Super User Posted February 13, 2015 Flyfisher is probably right much of the time. It bumps it to the top, and puts in your list of content. 2 Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted February 13, 2015 Author Super User Posted February 13, 2015 maybe it is a question they are also wondering about and by responding, it bumps it to the top of the forum. I had not considered that but it does make sense. Hootie Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 13, 2015 Super User Posted February 13, 2015 I had not considered that but it does make sense. Hootie On posts like that, I've usually indicated that I, too, am interested in the question presented. But I would agree with fly and JF's assessment. Quote

Super User *Hootie Posted February 13, 2015 Author Super User Posted February 13, 2015 Hey, how exactly is a rainbow made? How exactly does the sun set? How exactly does the posi-trac rear end on a Plymouth work? They just do I know how rainbows are made but I can't tell you. It's a secret. So, sorry, I can't help you. Hootie Quote
Super User slonezp Posted February 14, 2015 Super User Posted February 14, 2015 Padding the post count to get there numbers up. See, I have over 7500 posts. To the new untrained BR member, I look like I know what I'm talking about.... 6 Quote
BasshunterJGH Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Padding the post count to get there numbers up. See, I have over 7500 posts. To the new untrained BR member, I look like I know what I'm talking about.... Exactly. I think it's a combination of this and what flyfisher said. Some people just want to bump the thread back to the top because they're wondering the same thing, others because they think a huge post count is some kind of status symbol on this site... (It might be but I don't really care lol ) Quote

Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted February 14, 2015 Super User Posted February 14, 2015 The question is not why don't they know the answer, and post that they dont. They question is why do they know the answer and still post that they dont. For the Buddha says, "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it. No matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason, and your own common sense." Quote
