Whats really being taken in consideration to close a question? Is it based on how  "ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form" or how dumb/stupid the "voters" think the question is?

I asked this question, which I think is pretty valid. Even one of the mods thought "it had value in it" and even answered it. What happened? Close about 12 hours later.

While the question could be a little "broad" you dont actually need to read "whole lots of books" to answer it, its current answers prove it. I think its a valid question that most starting professionals did to themselves at one point in their career. But hey, who voted to close down the thread?

A 20 years SysAdmin , Principal IT Engineer at a company, a SysAdmin with 15kRep a 6krep user and a 20years + Linux user.

Since it got closed I copied all the answers into a file because I found useful every single answer and I dont want to wait for all of them to vote delete the question sending all that valuable information to the trash can.

I believe the quality of the information thats being asked/posted should be taken in consideration before closing a post. 5 persons bookmarked the question which leads to me think that 5 people are interested in the answers or did have the same question themselves.
