While some of it may be some attention drawing, forums, and the internet are places where ideas can be shared. People who have ideas, or are drawing blanks on Ideas that they are developing want to hear feedback about those ideas. We don't post just to post (well, at least not here I don't).
When your signal to noise ratio is low, you tend to lose respect in a community like this. It may not be nessicarily so, in this forum, but in other forums, signal is good, noise is bad. And as Jazuela noted, a little fluff is okay, a lot is annoying.
Oh, and first impressions mean a lot.
