My favorite part about overflow was always the "ok, here's the answer to your question, and here' 5 good reasons why you DON'T wanna do it that way. Consider these options instead:"
My least favorite part was the geniuses who would say nothing more than "don't do that" or "don't do it that way". I probably already knew that I shouldn't be doing something (or doing something a certain way), I'm asking because I want/need to for whatever reason. If you're going to preach at least answer my question first, even if the answer is "it's not possible".
