Yeah, I agree with most of what's been said on this thread. I think one of Skeet's comments about SO applies here as well - that the goal of the asker is to get unblocked as quickly as possible, and the goal of the site is something else. I'm not sure I have too much more to say about it right now, but I suspect that there's a middleground between what we have here and what SO does. One (theoretically simple) thing I've seen on other forums is to have the best-answer post show up at the top, so that if there's additional discussion after, people showing up later don't have to dig around for it.
