Oct 5, 2012 at 15:20 comment added Chris W. Rea @jcolebrand Perhaps CW. I'm mostly concerned that closure means eventual deletion which means a waste of the question. The question does summarize very real reasons behind a common yet misunderstood practice.
Oct 5, 2012 at 14:56 comment added jcolebrand Would this have just been better as CW?
Oct 5, 2012 at 14:50 comment added Sathyajith Bhat Mod @ChrisW.Rea why *they* avoid the practice and you get a quetsion ful of why I do x - which isn't different from a poll question
Oct 5, 2012 at 14:22 comment added Chris W. Rea Yes; specific expertise. The people who answered are presumed to frequently work with computers and are describing reasons why they avoid the practice. It isn't non-expert conjecture or speculation.
Oct 5, 2012 at 14:20 comment added slhck Mod Part of that has to do with the answers it accumulated, see: > We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or specific expertise.
Oct 5, 2012 at 14:17 comment added Chris W. Rea @slhck Still not a reason to close the question.
Oct 5, 2012 at 14:14 comment added slhck Mod Half of the answers simply mention "Old habit" and "I also use xyz" – it would be nice to have an actual answer that provides context and backs up claims with facts.
