[OT] question about stackoverflow - why was my posting deleted

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Matthias,

Your answer wasn't a direct answer to the question. Questions on SO 
should ask for a direct solution and answers should contain a direct 
solution.

Answers like "you should read this" have a very high probability of 
being deleted. Posting links, for a purpose other than mentioning the 
original source of the answer, make deletion almost certain.

SO wants to be an independent source, where you can find all answers 
without having to go to another website. In this respect, SO is even 
more strict than Wikipedia.

Don't worry. This happens all the time. It is just how SO works.
