Questionable Threads

Guys, please tell me if you think I am being cynical, but we've had a number of threads on here recently which have been asking advice and are, in themselves, very complicated and involved. Certain phrases appear to be repeated in each thread.
Each one, when I have checked their history, shows the questioner is posting their very first thread, sometimes do not give their gender, and appear to be similar in certain other ways. and we tend not to hear from them again afterwards.
Is there something suspicious about these, do you think, or is it just me getting old and cynical?

If the threads in question stimulate discussion,and also result in advice that could be helpful to anyone,or benefit another reader,then I have no problem with them. It doesn't matter if they are real or not. I'd much rather give a poster the benefit of the doubt.

If you were to search some of the teenage angst questions, I'm sure google would come up with AB as high on the list of likely sites for an answer.

one today should have been posted in Body & soul/relationships but if they are newcomers would they know this ? I answered one today because it sounded like a lonely person with mental problems and they needed help, whether they were geniune I know not.

looking back on the thread I was just on about the name of the writer "the mixer" should have told me a lot, will be more careful next time.
