| Jun 27, 2016 at 13:09 | comment | added | user25199 | To me (a non-expert in either question) it seems you are doing exactly the right thing - looking for answers to mathematics questions with a high chance that somebody in this community can answer (there is no requirement that a question be open, in fact this probably means it's too hard) and would be of interest to researchers expert in some but not other fields of mathematics. You are waiting before cross-posting and will cross-link. So, go ahead. What is the worst that can happen? | |

| Jun 21, 2016 at 19:37 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | BTW there exist the tags (math-stackexchange) and (cross-posting) on this meta; if you consider some of those two tags relevant for you question, you should add it. I am not sure whether you did this on purpose, but in both cases you have linked to comments instead of to the questions. | |
| Jun 21, 2016 at 19:20 | comment | added | Todd Trimble Mod | The first question is not at all a stupid question (I don't have an opinion on the second, as it is not an area of current interest to me), but I don't think it's going to be good for MO. I think for me the challenge in answering the first at Math.SE is how to pitch an answer that would fit in meaningfully with (my rough estimate of) your background and also with the intuition you are trying to convey. There are probably lots of different types of responses which would go off in various directions, but I imagine not all of them would pack the same punch for you. | |
