We shouldn't downvote because someone answered a duplicate question. I downvote wrong, unclear, misleading, really badly written, and the like. I have on rare occasions downvoted answers only becaus …

I just cast the last close vote on your question, and gave you a -1 for good measure. I personally find it obnoxious to have to chase down pertinent information to a question. No, I'm not going to f …

Don't put too much stock in the exact close reason. The system only has a few canned close reasons. It is possible to chose "other" and then write your own reason, but that's not worth the bother in …

I didn't downvote that question, and I don't see a obvious reason to downvote it. You left some junk "NB>" characters in there, but that relatively small editing oversight doesn't rise to the level o …

That's the way the system works. Read the rules, then get over it.
