What questions should be closed with reason “too localized”?
I realize that the point of that criteria is that questions should be helpful for other users, as well as answering the question. But isn't the primary purpose of stackoverflow to be a question and answer site? Why is a question considered unacceptable simply because it is only relevant to the asker? For example, this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12835046/unsure-how-this-z80-assembly-code-outputs-to-a-screen I fail to see why that post should be closed, simply becaus it's unlikely that anyone else will need to know that information.
