Good thread Mark.
I see a lot of this going on now a days. Someone already mentioned the questions in release forums so I will extend on that.
Often I will open a reported post only to find a few people have already replied to it. Most of the time the thread looks something like this:

I hate it when people post questions in the release forums!

The odd thing is out of all three users that replied to the thread most of the time none of them sent the post report I followed. The ones that do report post simply do not reply, or they point the user to the correct forum and answer OP's question (knowing the thread will soon be moved anyway).
I understand people hate support requests in the release forums. I understand that some users don't know how to code and drive coders up the wall sometimes. I understand some people are new and are just trying to understand how things work.
With a mixed bag like this things are never going to room smoothly. But I think you will find if you make an attempt to be nice to each other you will be able to work together.
