I agree, but I roll my eyes each time I see these posts.

You start a conversation by posting something, asking a question, making a comment.  But at least put some thought into it.  Make it relevant, topical, or at least ask a question which has some depth.

I'm not against people asking simple questions, but again and again and again?  And just for the sake of knowing that there is activity and feeling that you've done it?
