“By then” it had a single vote for close. Other four people choose to support the vote, after they already saw the second edition. Why did that happen, herd instinct? If yes, theoretically there’s a moderation mechanism on SO for that, doesn’t work either?
Anyway, I don’t care too much about my particular question. You might be right about the initial version wasn’t good. I’ve copy-pasted it to a new one, let’s see whether I’ll get a relevant answer.
But I’m using SO quite a lot, and I see many good questions downvoted and/or closed. Especially questions about niche technologies. Apparently, too many people think if they didn’t understood the question, it must be something wrong with the question, not with them.
