Yeah, I hold that view as well.

I feel the same (can't back it up).

Isn't it a good thing? I think it is amazingly good. Take a look at all
those questions asked in the Ubuntu forum, >90% are tasteless. What's
worse, (have you flipped down several index pages?), the questions on the
4th or 5th pages are just asked hours ago! I think the "huge success" of
Ubuntu is becoming the huge disaster for it at the same time. With such
huge traffic, any question that need a little more thinking would be
neglected.
I recently asked a question there, and on noticing the above fact, I
didn't even bother to bump up my question. Why bother? Several hours
later it will end up on 6th pages again.
