I think it's good to give them something to work with, your cut and paste comment seems to cover a lot, no need for more from others. I take the more personal approach, offer my help, none take it, and so to me they disappear into oblivion.
You seem to have had some good results. I think if more of the better established users did a little something to help then things would improve, but that doesn't seem to be the way it's done.
