Hello Mr. Bhatia,
Your advice makes a lot of sense - but this applies more in the offline world. The issue is that in a text only medium it is extremely difficult to be certain of the the tone of the posted message. This becomes a bigger problem when the message is intended in a corporate type environment, where most people are on guard against criticism or they don't really see the other parties as authority figures. Thus to make this work, it is of paramount importance that politeness is maintained. This space was never meant for criticism but rather for solutions to problems faced in corporate issues.
It is best that we don't worry about the repetition or novice'ness and concentrate on identifying the interesting threads. One way this can be done is by "follow"ing the senior people - this will send you recommendations in the "recommended" tab and collectively the seniors can identify the best threads where an input from them is warranted.
Regards,
Sid
