hate to bump at late stage, but only just realised the "me too" answerer would never get notified if the question finally got answered

| Aug 23, 2017 at 20:14 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | This is quite complete in terms of the various considerations for reviewers and possible outcomes for post authors. At some point we might have to revisit the wording in the help... but I don't know how much general discussion about the issue can really be fostered here. I only had one example, and without others to help explore other aspects of the issue, it would be hard to figure out if any new policy consensus or feature request ought to come out of it. I'm accepting this answer. If the issue arises again in connection with other posts, someone could post on meta and link here for context. | |

I thank you for that, but it certainly wasn't impossible to check the timestamps, so my fail. Just prior to deletion there was some work being done in an attempt to improve the answer and while choosing the other GPU isn't an ideal solution, the workaround could feasibly be useful to someone experiencing the same issue, the poster was obviously working on the problem and may well have provided an excellent solution given time. Or not. We'll likely never know. Thank you for clarifying your perspective. | |
| Aug 20, 2017 at 22:07 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | It would have been difficult to determine the state of the post at the time Eliah Kagan asked this question from the timeline @ElderGeek - I just happened to be there! I'm not upvoting your answer because I think what EK is really asking is "should we delete these posts?", and I think we should, but possibly your answer works to justify the defence of posts that do provide a partial answer, and I agree with defending such posts in general (although I agree with the deletion of this post since the suggested workaround is basically "if it doesn't work, don't use it") as I wrote in my answer... | |

correct grammar

| Aug 20, 2017 at 21:32 | comment | added | Elder Geek | I for one agree with you. You are absolutely correct regarding the timeline which I somehow neglected to consider when answering the question. Perhaps I should delete my answer. | |
