| Nov 5, 2017 at 8:23 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | The only part of this I disagree with is that off-topic questions could just as well be closed as duplicates. I think only on-topic questions should be closed as duplicates, because (a) if the duplicate target does not work for OP or others in their off-topic scenario, it's not helpful to anyone, and is misleading and (b) if people find off-topic questions closed as duplicates on Ask Ubuntu, they may think that off-topic questions are on-topic, and ask more of them | |

| Oct 27, 2017 at 7:34 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | @Dan If you're asking if I would agree more with that statement, yes. But I don't think there's any need for you to change your question here. (You can do so, if you are completely sure you want to. If you did, I would add a footnote in my answer mentioning that part of it applied to an earlier version of your question, and then my answer would still make sense.) | |

Reading the quote again, maybe I should have said it differently. Would this make more sense "If you need to close them, and before you cast your vote, please make sure that the question is a Mint problem. Also, I would strongly recommend searching for a duplicate first."
