To comment on your original post Drav, I agree completely.
One thing that has always bothered me as well are the copy past threads. Now press releases and announcements may not fall into this category. Things need to be announced occasionally and this is the more or less accepted method.
But copy pasting a thread about (for example) how your cat coughed up a hairball this morning to a dozen threads simply for the purpose of getting sig views is "stupider than moss" indeed.
