But I think I'm more about leaving feedback. We're more open than most SE sites about open-ended questions, but I feel that if we do close a topic we should be clear about why it was closed - if it's not off-topic, then we should instead indicate that the question showed a lack of research or detail. | |

The "how to take notes" question is looking for a fact based answer (is there a tool and if so what is it). This could potentially become a big list or polling question, but it hasn't degenerated into that yet. | |
