The experiment continues and there is yet hope that StackOverflow.com
will redeem itself. However, I don't think it is there yet.
While the first 20 viewers of the question found 5 people willing to
vote to close for ambiguity a clear, concise, straightforward question
with a clear, concise, straightforward answer, the next 110 or so
viewers found another 5 (well, me plus 4 others) willing to reopen it.
By the time I found it reopened, it already had 1 vote to close it again.
I offered a bounty of 500 reputation points to see whether anyone is
willing to take all the hints and write a good answer.
I am interested to see what happens in the end.
