If you're not interested in alternative answers to problem X, you should not put "how to solve X" in the title, but "what is wrong with this solution to X". If your question is called "how to solve X", you will naturally attract people who have a solution to X they want to share. (Maybe those people will then carefully read what you're asking, and maybe they won't.) | |
