| Oct 12, 2015 at 4:19 | comment | added | abcd | @EEAA this is comparable to people who ask ELL questions on the english site and people who ask basic math questions on mathoverflow (which is meant for professional mathematicians). as for those cases, there is at least one site for amateurs where the kind of question i want to ask can be asked. | |
| Oct 12, 2015 at 4:17 | comment | added | abcd | @EEAA sorry, i should have said, "why close a question when answering it is so easy?" but i guess your answer would be that you (and the other members of this site) don't want to have to answer questions like this. and it is in part because they're too easy -- i.e., because they're so easy, a professional IT admin would never ask them. | |
| Oct 12, 2015 at 4:15 | comment | added | EEAA Mod | Your question was not closed because it was too easy. Please don't put words in our mouths. We made it very clear why your question was closed. | |

| Oct 12, 2015 at 4:14 | comment | added | abcd | @EEAA i guess my broader point is this: i understand closing questions when they can't be answered or when the required answer is so long it wouldn't be feasible for anyone to write it out. but why close a question because answering it is too easy? | |

@EEAA i just emailed J about how to remove the broken installation. i'll post an update here when she responds. but rather than try to guess what J would or wouldn't do, why not just give that as an answer to my question: i.e., Q: how do i remove glibc? A: don't bother. just restore the most recent known-good backup. then J might respond, "i can't, because . . ." or she might respond, "ah, yes, that worked."
