I believe they have a better chance and have the right not to be underestimated *here [*in the field of reading notices].
And in respect, please provide better titles than
PLEASE READ [and the failed etc.] to elict a better response in grabbing the reader's attention. Even if you have to, be as wordy as possible.
Last point: If even by some miniscule chance they happen to miss it. You could quickly refer them to the proposed notice [which would ideally have all the threads merged contained to the related subject so that in hopes it [the notice] may cover all bases. In the event, you [TFP staff] are still skeptical you could always inculde at the bottom of the first post in the notice that:
In the event this thread fails to address all your misconceptions or questions about this subject feel free to PM me or [insert another valued staff member] if you fail to get the responses you desire you may only then contact Halx or an Administrator from the list.
A little creativity goes a long way, I always say.

Nobody wants to be a
