Are some questions here just to simulate activity? (palaver.p3x.de)

Sometimes I can't tell whether a question here is genuine and the author is interested in the answers, or whether they just copy-paste something to keep people busy. How am I supposed to approach that?

Answer what you want; ignore what you want. I don’t bother worrying about people’s motivation for asking a question. I’m just grateful to have something to do when I’m bored. Like now.

What are your hobbies?

I was at work, and bored. By the time I saw your question, I was back home and not bored anymore. Thanks, though!
