I think asking someone to read nearly 400 pages worth of text and pictures is unreasonable.
In my opinion it should be the poster's responsibility to read the first post and at least 3 of the pages preceding the current one before posting. Then, perhaps to our chagrin, it is our responsibility as the community to fill in the newer people as they ask questions.
