The mods are so ubiquitous and so busy on SO, I wish they'd spend some of their time silencing the "let's figure out what your real question is" pseudo-trolls.

I call them pseudo-trolls because I think they are well-meaning, but they function as trolls: overrunning a web site, hijacking discussions with repetitive and irrelevant content, and making most potential users feel that participating isn't worth the time and effort of interacting with them.
