| Aug 17, 2016 at 23:06 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | Aha, now I think I understand. I'll attempt to answer this question. | |
| Aug 17, 2016 at 23:05 | comment | added | Daniel Schealler | Thanks for the clarification - easy to misread text, I guess. The popup did come up, yes. But at the same time, on the 'Ask Question' page, it makes it very clear that we should attempt to search for and research our problem first, because someone else may have already had the same issue, and that it's important to show that we've put in some effort to research the issue ourselves before posting here. That's what I was trying to do when I followed up with that poster: Seek clarity on the existing query, which may have been resolved (but not updated), before posting a duplicate of my own. | |

The web site should have warned you in a pop-up to not post a comment or a question as an answer. It's not a problem to ask for help, nor is any hostility intended. | |
| Aug 17, 2016 at 23:01 | comment | added | Daniel Schealler | To clarify: The site and Sven have told me what not to do. But nowhere have I found out what I should do instead. I'm confused, and I genuinely want to know what I should do, so that I can do it. Is it a crime to ask for help? | |
| Aug 17, 2016 at 23:00 | comment | added | Daniel Schealler | I feel like I'm receiving conflicting instructions, and I'm asking for clarification so I can know how to do the correct thing. I'm asking a simple and respectful and sincere question. It should be straightfoward enough to answer it. Instead, you're asking me a nasty rhetorical question. Why is there all this hostility? I'm genuinely confused as to why my first two interactions on this site have been so uncharitable. | |
| Aug 17, 2016 at 22:53 | comment | added | Michael Hampton Mod | The web site itself warned you to not post that non-answer, before you posted it. Where did you see advice to do otherwise? | |
