| May 10, 2012 at 14:50 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | The best answer I can give to the second comment, is that it depends. Some General Information questions have answers that apply to 95% of situations, and thus are the acceptable correct answers; the other 5% are usually fringe cases where you'll need someone with specialized knowledge (the RAID ConAnswer is a good example). For other general knowledge questions there is no acceptable correct, you'll always get it depends. Good examples: Licensing and Server Sizing. | |

| May 10, 2012 at 10:11 | comment | added | Rob Moir | I gave you an example in the question ;-) - change the feel of your post from "why is it that...?" to "I'm trying to manage latency on a mobile network, what do I need to look at to reduce or eliminate..." | |
| May 10, 2012 at 10:07 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | @sleske, if your read the FAQ, as you were prompted to do, you might have a better understanding of how to ask your question. | |
| May 10, 2012 at 9:39 | comment | added | sleske | Sorry,I didn't want to debate the question, I was merely using the examples for clarification. Anyway, if you feel "it wouldn't take much to make your post on topic", could you explain where it is lacking? | |
| May 10, 2012 at 9:36 | comment | added | Rob Moir | I don't really plan to sit here and debate various questions on the main site, I don't see the point of that. It may be that those questions should be closed too. Or that they can be made relevant (to be fair, it wouldn't take much to make your post on topic). | |
| May 10, 2012 at 9:33 | comment | added | Rob Moir | I'd go along with that as a rough guide. That's probably true of most of the main sites - Stack Overflow and Super User operate along the same lines. | |
| May 10, 2012 at 9:32 | comment | added | sleske | So wouldn't questions like "Is a Network Switch IP-Aware?", "Is Clustering really = High Availability?" or "Can someone explain the difference between app server/web server/web services?" not be off-topic as well? They are asking for general information, without a concrete problem at hand. | |
| May 10, 2012 at 9:30 | comment | added | sleske | OK, so it boils down to general knowledge-building questions being off-topic - there must be a concrete problem you are facing? | |
