Meta SO is a better place to get the 10K+ crowd to provide words of wisdom, rather than debating in the comments. I think Rosinante pretty much nailed it. | |

| Apr 5, 2014 at 17:32 | comment | added | Kurt E. Clothier | I am the OP for the linked question. I realize that I was a bit over the top on my handling of that... It was late, and I need to get more sleep! In any event, how might I edit the question for it to be better? If I fix the issues in the code in the question, then there wouldn't be any question to ask. So would it be better to answer my own question with the edited code and output? I'm not trying to disrupt the community here... | |

| Apr 5, 2014 at 13:14 | comment | added | Sumurai8 | In the case of the question you linked, I don't find the comment that cryptic. It doesn't provide an answer to the question - although it might be related, but it provides accurate feedback. If said user is interested in it, they can google (that is what I did), or ask for clarification. | |
