| May 25, 2015 at 8:22 | comment | added | user30471 | @barbarabeeton Yes I probably chose a bad example as by an "abandoned question" I really meant one that had been left for 1+ months without the OP coming back to mark an answer as being correct. I don't like the growing number of questions on TeX.SX that, technically, have no answer -- especially when there is an answer that clearly does answer the question. | |
| May 24, 2015 at 12:50 | comment | added | barbara beeton | i see that the question you cite is rather recent (though more than a few days old), so perhaps a bit more patience would be in order. but what do you think is appropriate for a question that is a year or more old, and the op hasn't returned to the site for half a year or more? i get the impression that some people (relatively few, thankfully) join simply to get the answer to one question, then disappear as soon as a usable answer appears, without upvoting or accepting. (there is a "too old" reason for closure, though i can't remember seeing it used.) | |

Retag.

In the case you point to, we have the common issue of 'draw it for me': it's hard to see anyone else being able to find this question by searching for a similar case. (That does not mean the answer is not good.) | |
