| Jul 20, 2013 at 1:26 | comment | added | user9072 | @RyanBudney: I am virtually certain that Ricardo Andrade had not "missed this", how else should he know the question which is the desiganted duplicate of that cross-post (the one linked in his comment). Rather his point seems to be the cross post on math.SE is closed but as a dup of something there that is not really a dup, and I agreee (also without defending the question). But the argument for its closure here can hardly be that a crosspost on math.SE was closed as a dup of something rather than to migrate it here. | |
| Jul 20, 2013 at 1:16 | comment | added | user9072 | To add to the comment by @RicardoAndrade (for people that did not click through to math.SE): the question under discussion was cross-posted on math.SE and on math.SE the post got (very quickly) closed as some (I assume 'abstract' or 'vague') duplicate of the question mentioned in the preceeding comment (which appears, but I do not really know, to be some catch all thing at almost 400 for 'what is math good for' type questions). | |
| Jul 20, 2013 at 1:16 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | @Ricardo: It appears you missed this: math.stackexchange.com/questions/447063/… | |
| Jul 20, 2013 at 1:08 | comment | added | Ricardo Andrade | @Ryan: Without discussing the merits of the question, it feels to me that the question math.stackexchange.com/questions/71874/… (of which the question presently being discussed is supposed to be a duplicate) addresses a somewhat different, if related, point. It certainly asks for rather different advice than the question under discussion. | |
| Jul 20, 2013 at 0:58 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | It's a duplicate of a thread on MSE, so yes it should be closed. If people really think it's best on MO they should have migrated it. But it does not appear to be a good question on either forum. | |

| Jul 19, 2013 at 23:14 | comment | added | user9072 | 15:18:17 to be precise; also UTC is the official time on MO ;-) Thanks for making me aware this had been closed/reopened already, this totally escaped me. // Btw, to whomever thought so, not sure it is already time to close this meta-question. | |
