Fundamentally, I agree that people should work to accomplish the threads they create, or state that they cannot or will not continue. You can't police that, you can police yourself. Also, to clarify, I said 'ask little and see what comes back'; asking one or two questions as opposed to ten, say.

I disagree that it would be detrimental to the threads; the situation may remain largely the same, but someone who is bothered by the lack of responses would hopefully work on themselves to become less bothered, and more satisfied with what/if comes back. Someone is frustrated with a situation...that either requires adaption, or letting go of the frustration and continuing regardless.

I don't have much of an issue with scripted questions either, to be honest; they can build up enough of a picture to form better, more individual asks.
