I don't get people who have been here two weeks, jumping on a post and demanding to know what Ned is doing and why.

I am guessing they do it because they feel if they mimic the tone of the post (be an ass kisser) that they will be rewarded monetarily with votes. It is a step up in ass kissing from the "great post, I upvote, please upvote back and follow" crap many do. But you are right, guessing Ned probably doesn't give a shit what someone with a few dollars to rub together is demanding as he jet sets around the world off the money he created for himself.
