You know the answer to your own ?People don't take the time to read the README file or search through the thread. If they did they would know how to create a .htaccess file or why what is causing a 404 error. They read just enough to get by and that when all the problems start to happen because they didn't read the whole README file or search the thread before asking questions. It is much faster to ask the ? again without going through the hassle to find the answer there self.
