Maybe you haven't but it's a common enough response here in the UK. A reply that stopped at that point would be unhelpful, but a reply that starts that way seems fine to me. | |

| Jan 26, 2013 at 16:42 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | You should also know that the person who posted the answer gets notified of the suggested edit, and they can take action on it as well if they wish. Though since he hasn't logged on since before you made your edit, it would be nice to give him time to update his answer :) | |
| Jan 26, 2013 at 16:40 | comment | added | Tom Hunter | "You don't." isn't helpful and seems pretty unfriendly to me. However the rest of the answer is useful and I appreciate the help. So I took what I thought was appropriate action and edited the answer to remove unfriendly bit. I'm just disappointed the edit was rejected. | |

| Jan 26, 2013 at 16:24 | comment | added | Rob Moir | It would be rejected because two people have chose to reject it. This is their decision, not part of some great corporate standard or for that matter, a lack of one. I don't see what's "unfriendly" about the answer as it is. Blunt perhaps, but what's wrong with that? | |
