Though I haven't technically asked a single off-topic question yet, I theoretically could have, because, due to my familiarity with Wikipedia policies forbidding original research (from whose mathematical reference desk I eventually found my way here, and onto the related Math.SE site), I misinterpreted the wording describing site policies as meaning that the asking of research level questions is forbidden, rather than expected, where the relevant phrase was being misunderstood as referring to yet-unanswered questions, such as, say, the Riemann Hypothesis, possibly as a minimal attempt to ward off potential quacks. Of course, luckily for me, my questions were well-received: but that's most likely the result of pure chance, rather than the direct byproduct of correct comprehension, from my part, of the site's actual rules. I also had no real clue, whatsoever, of the proper relation between MO and MSE, deeming them simply as being two equally-frequented Q&A websites for addressing this particular topic, similarly to, say, Code Guru and Code Project. It took me weeks, if not months, to finally understand what the phrase actually meant all along.
