So, if the SE sites discourage link-and-run (or rather, encourage down-voting of LAR answers), why isn't this in the FAQ?
Earlier Meta discussions, showing that LAR is discouraged. http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/38001/statistics-current-ratio-of-link-and-run-on-the-stack-exchange-network
http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/37968/reduce-posting-of-linking-hit-and-runs-answers
Example of me assuming that such was in the FAQ, and now looking like a jerk (possibly because I'm a jerk.)
