I'll admit it may appear a lazy choice but with 40+ active sites in the category technology alone and 186 proposals in Area51 my knowledge of what is on-topic and where decreases by the day.

I think this message better describes what is wrong with a number of questions. Although I think the reason for closing is often not only that question itself is not useful to other readers, but it simply can't result in useful answers either. On a related note; how many OP's already edit their closed question sufficiently that it gets re-opened? And if the close reason is changed, can it be tracked if that percentage is changing?

Maybe I had a moment of weakness and regarded it as something too basic and too obvious failing the minimal understanding. I agree it was well worded and unlike many also formatted correctly.

Duh! Didn't think of searching meta.stackexchange.com, which in retrospect would have been the obvious place. Thanks!

The multiple tag is no more!
