One compromise (which Harry has suggested on a recent meta.MO thread) would be for the answerer to ask another (more specific) version of the original question, and answer it there. I would be happy to upvote such an effort. As it is, I found the original question to have been vague; I have explained why I voted to close in the comments there. Math.SE (like other SE sites) is intended for specific questions with definite answers. The question asked was too much of a fishing expedition.
