I hated that part of SO so much. Almost every time I got a SO result on google it was exactly the issue I had and without fail the question would be closed as a duplicate pointing to something that was different enough to be completely useless to me.

		my greatest achievement is having a question on SO closed for being too narrowly focused and unlikely to be useful to anybody else, and then a multi year history of notifications about "you've earned a popular question badge" for that same question.

		When you had 8 SO tabs open around your issue and the only true relevant one is closed as duplicate. I do NOT miss those days.

The single most annoying thing about trying to actually ask a question on SO. No overzealous editor that's actually a different error and library entirely...
