No closures or hostility. Maybe I&amp;#x27;ve been lucky, maybe the advice for asking good questions works.&lt;p&gt;In any case the act of composing a question according to the guide has answered many more questions than I&amp;#x27;ve actually posted -- some due to the rubber-ducking, others via the &amp;quot;check out these questions&amp;quot; feature.&lt;p&gt;(This is all orthogonal to the recent issues wrt moderators and community managers)</text></comment>
