I have found that usually the informational value of a thread is quickly diluted by a high proportion of repeating posters.
Keep in mind this is a discussion forum, not a "one comment" forum. When there is an actual discussion going on, rather than pointless random comments, posters will be going back and forth to continue the discussion. Now if someone just keeps repeating the same thing over and over, well, that is just annoying. Almost as annoying as the pointless random comments.
