high five bmike

My name is Mike Bradshaw. Please contact me if I can be of assistance as one of the Moderators of Ask Different on Stack Exchange.

Note, If you are emailing for help answering your question as opposed to help with moderation of the site, be sure to send a link to the question. I can't answer every troubleshooting question here (my paying customers have priority). If you have an exceptionally tough problem to solve, I do love challenges. Help me help you by asking a stellar question.

I'm often in the chat rooms here, but I'm also very much on the twitter as @bmike.

You certainly don't have to wait - you can answer that other question to get the ball rolling on explaining why it should be reopened unless you now agree that it's not a good fit...

I'd give it time - if after 3 or 4 days, no one wants to discuss it (or better, makes an edit to the question to kick it to the re-open queue) them perhaps we'll know if people don't have an opinion and/or are OK with it being closed.

comment What's wrong with a question asking for alternatives to Adobe CS in the cloud?
e.g. if someone wants to make a case for reopening it or suggest edits that might solve these problems - here's the chance to offer or discuss the specifics.

comment Why was my flag for “not an answer” declined?
@mark Yes - spam is a subset of not an answer and depending on how often that poster is answering with the same item and whether they have disclosed their relationship with the product. It's more easy to delete these when it's truly not an answer, since that needs no other qualifiers that spam does have. Also, spam has additional sanctions to the poster whereas not an answer just gets deleted if it's not attempting to move the question forward with some relevant details.

comment Can't post comment even if it's 15 character long
@rptwsthi Was the voting help text useful in alerting you to the fact that we like people to vote for things they feel is great? Perhaps it's more of a problem with explaining votes than it is tying to prevent trivial comments in terms of length.

comment Allow “How to Learn Objective-C”-Type Questions?
Thank you, thank you for asking this. The close reason I chose should probably have been - not a real question since as written, it's not even remotely answerable without guessing far too much about what the OP is trying to solve.
