| May 24, 2010 at 2:07 | comment | added | Rosinante | @Daniel as for 'how do you pronounce,' I'm sorry. I'm a cynical old git. I don't believe that one of these OPs really is really ignorant of the answer, or really cares. | |
| May 24, 2010 at 2:05 | comment | added | Rosinante | @Daniel: 1. the overall tone and content of the question degrades the overall site. Mild profanity, opinionated bloviation. To me it reads as a piece of venting thinly disguised as a question. Recent posts have quoted Atwood on the 'broken windows' effect. 2. The only people who are actually qualified to answer this question are MS employees. All other answers, however cogent, are guesses. Who needs it? | |

| May 24, 2010 at 0:14 | comment | added | Daniel Vassallo | I have been following the discussions about duplicates, and I really appreciate the effort that is being made to preserve valuable answers by merging. Also I cannot but agree with you about the "how do you pronounce" questions, et al... However, if I may ask, what are the main reasons for when you vote to delete questions such as this? This question might have been subjective, but on the other hand the top-voted answer gave quite a neutral and objective answer to that IMO. What would have been the cost if it remained closed instead? | |
