Thanks.

What was? Provide context. There is at least one post almost every day about providing context and giving instructions (I know there was both yesterday and today) so you have no excuse for not knowing to provide context or how to do it through Google. 

You're (and others, such as Keith) wasting your breath.  They'll never get
it.  And I'll tell you why.

I understand what you are saying, but at least some of them are getting it when it is explained. The problems as I see it are:
1) Google seems to ignore complaints about the interface
2) Their are always more people coming across Google groups

So I will continue to complain and/or advise depending on my mood including asking Google users to complain to Google when I feel like doing that.

I will also continue to do my best to avoid my responses duplicating those of others.

If your news reader is capable of it you could always kill on posts from Google and the immediate responses to them, with a white list for any Google users you know you want to see. Personally I prefer not to use a kill file and instead just skip over what I don't want to read or comment on bad etiquette depending on my mood.

I suspect that we will not agree on this, but that's life and you are fully entitled to your opinion.
