    As well as the other answers you have received, there is also the fact that if
    a thread doesn't interest me, then I skip it.
    So if there is thread (Radeon ATI for example) in which I have no interest I
    won't read it, if you then ask a question on that thread that I could help
    you with, I won't ever get to see it and I won't ever get to help you.

    So, its also in your own interests.
