I've noticed that the hardest part of replying to a question on the Internet is replying to the question asked, not the question one wanted, or refraining from suggesting a different question instead. Or replying with something from the first five search results.
I know, you're social, you want to be nice, but please. ABSTAIN.
Folks. YOU'RE NOT BEING HELPFUL. You're creating ADDITIONAL WORK for a person who already has an unanswered question.
"Would my response help me in their situation?"
