Although I've encountered this as well, in most cases I got a useful answer for my problem. I often ddg problems related to Ubuntu. I had many encounters where someone had the same problem than me on askubuntu, but the answers where unhelpful, sometimes only the question was posted with no answer at all. Or the original poster stated he solved his problem, without posting the solution. In most cases, on SO I found relief.
