There is a [question on the parent site][1] that has become like a forum (follow-up questions and responses posted as answers). The question is complicated because the person asking included several issues together, which txwikinger pointed out in a comment. It does appear to be on-topic, but I'm not sure it is helping anyone in its present state.

Is there anything that can be done to steer that question in a more Stack Exchange Q&A direction?
