This is not an answer to my question.

I should flag all questions tagged the software-rec that don't mention everything they've already tried?

And should I vote-to-close this?

"You're looking for programs that fit a checklist and not solutions or answers to a problem that you actually have." > So all I need to do is add "I need to make a small word game for a school project. What software..." ?

@slhck Now I understand, thanks slhck.

Is there a difference between user B using a link to the answer vs. the link to the question?

At lunch in my (high) school, I've been introducing a few friends to SE, more specifically SU. Occasionally I let some of them know about an answer that I worked "extra hard on", that I thought was really good, but hadn't received much attention, as the question wasn't that great. My friends would never upvote because they know me, or because I'm asking them to, but because the answer is a good one (once opening a link, he checks and reads over the answer before deciding if he should vote). If he looks at some of my answers in-a-row, would that raise a flag anywhere? (BTW, excellent answer.)

Yes, (That part was obvious to me). Why not though?
