Not always true. You tend to focus on things that show research and effort. 
The level of competence then doesn't matter. It just so happens that anyone 
who loads http://localhost:8000/ during the tutorial and gets a 404, then 
tells the group the tutorial is wrong, clearly doesn't show research (asked 
and answered a gazillion times) nor effort (read the tutorial again to see 
your mistake, ans yes, it's possible to read over it again and again and not 
see it, which is why you should use the search-before-asking algorithm).

So it looks as though more advanced users focus on more advanced problems, but 
that certainly isn't the case - it just coincides with the fact that beginner 
problems are often thrown into the group without any thought or research.

And can I just say, sometimes with an attitude unbecoming of someone who wants 
others to spend time on his/her problems. But that's the nature of Open Source 
communities.

This is rather elaborate, but should be any forum's charter:
