There's always room for improvement, elaboration, follow up questions, etc. Howver, it *really* bothers me to see a good answer followed up by a not-so-good or blatantly incorrect answer, or sometimes people will even simply paraphrase an existing answer for the sake of participation. So, I don't think this should be categorically applied to all questions with a correct answer, but it does have some merit. There are many questions - like Ankur's one about rpmfusion codecs - where it is best to maintain one comprehensive, correct answer and discourage drive-by solutions that are incorrect or just not as good. - -- - -- Pete Travis - Fedora Docs Project Leader - 'randomuser' on freenode - immanetize@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTzBedAAoJEL1wZM0+jj2ZWFcH/0llaYcivdtiJrwmtlgw6KpA 36mXr0xic21R8jGgrW4dVxGAJEWytyfCIGAaP/RS1odOaCHMdM8FqW3HIhsp1649 TkQFv1EXVq9UopLayUPhLl6TuiyJihqi0FM0W8tHkQEbuFw7MqYonQs3WRIXoBmZ KrHXyMLA10a0GJrTCk5tj3zO6NEPAdVENv18VVev3brX0lDM2vFLQtgHzMLEo7wR ltX7mrUtLUqWUexQVNygav/HpJSN39wm7Fp4R05bbv6mgNaFIkxGRAS5noPPo7BA 8yIBzizx9i2uba7nKcJ94qsWhLvJNi9072BQ7i8JCBXnv0a15A6ZydxlfqbY/EU= =tEyP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/infrastructure
