Ah, those people prefer to get no reply at all?

In a word, yes.

Ah, that must be the reason that people post a question twice, or even
three times if they do not get an answer. Now I understand.

Yes. For the same reason as they often re-post when all they get is BS
answers. Effectively, BS answers are just line noise.

It is the nature of Usenet that if you post something and get no
response (or only BS responses), the post effecively "goes away" (since
Usenet articles have short shelf lives). So, yes, you have to re-post.
