It would be helpful if question subject lines clearly stated geography (country and relevant geographical subdivisions) time period and surname. The NGS gives advice on writing queries that are helpful:
http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/cs/writing_a_query
I think one of the challenges is that some things posted to profile message boards are copied onto G2G, and when writing on a profile the author assumes a certain context that doesn't carry over to G2G.
