| Jan 25, 2012 at 14:10 | comment | added | Knowledge Cube | Thank you very much for the thorough answer. I wrote this post mainly to address the fact that many such answers (though not the additional one you provided: a suggestion that a different approach may be better suited to the task at hand is certainly more acceptable than outright telling a user to entirely replace their OS, for example) are, as you pointed out, not helpful, and to have something to point users who do write such answers to so as to help them understand why such posts are not helpful. I think my wording of the last sentence of my question wasn't very good in this regard. | |
