This snip of a post makes little sense in the overall context of this thread, which is talking about people asking for threads to be closed:
"Take a step back and look at it from the point of view of many ordinary folks following one thread or another. "Passing on by" is a ridiculous suggestion when a member is following a topic in hopes of getting something useful out of it. And in many cases, that includes the Original Poster, whose simple question too often results in a barrage of irrelevant score-seeking by True Believers of one stripe or another."
Seems to me that she is saying "Passing on by" is ridiculous because a person is following the thread, but apparently asking that the thread be closed isn't ridiculous? Isn't that a bit contradictory? :)
