A special kind of illiteracy.

I've noticed that the majority of people on DOOMworld suffer from a fascinating type of illiteracy in which they are able to type but, apparently, unable to read.  I receive reply after reply answering questions that weren't asked, telling me I'd forgotten things I had clearly talked about, or said my idea would be better if it was [exactly what what I had already said].

I wonder if any research has been done into this phenomenon, as I am having trouble understanding how one can write without knowing how to read.
