anyway, that's one issue, among others, that make the site ossified.
Even framing the same question in different ways is useful. If someone posts a Duplicate, adding that to a list of "alternative questions" that is collapsed by default on the original post might have been a better approach.
It also takes away the whole "your question is worthless" dynamic that closing a question raises.
I never asked a question on SO, though I used it as a reference often. I had this idea in my head that to ask a proper question that wouldn’t get moderated away or obliterated by the community, I would have to spend significant time and energy researching how to ask appropriate questions, and provide a bunch of supporting details that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that I did my due diligence before asking.
I guess at the end of the day this means I didn’t actually _need_ to ask a question, but also means some useful discussions and interesting answers to problems I solved, that I’m sure others have, don’t haven’t answers out in the wild.
