| Apr 10, 2013 at 21:41 | comment | added | user9517 Mod | @Bryan: have you read tour and windows 7 isn't a server OS. Wamp isn't a technology used in production it's an amateur. | |
| Apr 10, 2013 at 19:20 | comment | added | user11604 | I see an amazing amount of questions closed here on SF based on assumptions alone, which does nothing but add to the hostility perceived by new users. | |
| Apr 10, 2013 at 19:19 | comment | added | user11604 | I don't consider that question to be off topic at all. Other than an assumption that the OP isn't asking on a professional basis, there were no grounds to close that question. Sure, he's not using a 'server', but desktops are on topic here if in a professional capacity. I myself have a WAMP setup on my desktop, purely for professional use, if I have a problem with Apache on my desktop, how can that be off topic? | |
| Apr 10, 2013 at 6:16 | comment | added | user9517 Mod | Removing the OS doesn't improve the question at all it's still crappy and missing key information. The OP is an amateur and there are other SE sites that cater for them. | |
| Apr 10, 2013 at 2:58 | comment | added | Andrew B | @jscott I meant the opportunity for the person who posted about a subject in a desktop environment (since the edit+comment delete magically made it go away), but clearly there was room for me to learn too. :) | |
| Apr 10, 2013 at 2:35 | comment | added | jscott | Ah... I see now, "the opportunity for learning" for you as a commenter -- I hadn't considered that. | |
| Apr 10, 2013 at 2:16 | comment | added | Andrew B | @jscott I was still referring to the fact that my comment was deleted. I was trying to emphasize that the opportunity for learning was lost since a better comment addressing the issue wasn't left in its place. | |
| Apr 10, 2013 at 1:24 | comment | added | jscott | Not sure a two character edit could be misconstrued as "wahh this was completely astroturfed over" :) | |
