Agreed
It's not about having too many posts, it's to incite people to contribute. Comments are usually easier to get than posts.

None of those people posted on their own.
I am the main poster here, and the idea is to have more activity for more people too. Having discussion threads should help with that. Of course, people can post their questions in their own posts if they want to, but from experience it's usually easier in threads.
They're certainly lower effort, and posting can be intimidating. You're putting yourself on display for any to mock by making a post. I completely agree.
I was going to say something about encouraging posting, a-la "there are no stupid questions," but I don't really know how you'd do that.
Whatever works; maybe it's a good idea - as long as people don't get the idea that's the only time they can post questions.
