Have you noticed that it is usually a Newbie Member or a Junior Member that posts the question. It also forces all non-Vet, non-Mod members to take a look and defend their right to answer...even though, they are neither. In fact, how many times have you seen only one Vet or Mod show up? I would guess it is out of apathy for such threads that they tend to stear clear. Most of the time, the question can be answered by searching the ed threads.
caveat:
Sometimes, an experienced user is needed to answer the question.
Sorry, I have just scrolled though a couple of pages in the steroid section looking at only those threads, and I just wanted to relay my findings.
