- jaclaz 8y agoYes, generally, on stackoverflow (but not only) "going astray" replies are actually due to both: 1) responders that either have not read fully the question or not knowing the actual answer decide to suggest something else that they know (or believe) would work 2) badly asked questions, sometimes it is a good thing to be synthetic when asking, but sometimes providing an even minimal background and particularly listing what attempts have been done before make a better question
