Why? Cos it's an open chat board and I can say whatever pops into my mind. Why do you have such a bee in your bonnet about my answer?
I was just curious if there is a reason behind it besides brainfart drive-by.
I see it often that a specific question is posed with a clear direction and people completely ignore the premise. The post gets filled with the same 7 answers over and over which all are missing the point or propose something that was explicitly stated in the op as already tried or excluded in another way.
Reads to me often as: "Nice post but why isn't it about me and what I find interesting?"
I understand that.
Yeah, mostly related-thought brain-fart drive-by.
There weren't many comments when I commented so there's a bit of giving OP something to work with rather than an empty advice request post.
