It's better to do something LESS INSANE. It's also SAD that the post is not downvoted into OBLIVION.

Voting should not be used to answer a question raised in a post; it should be reserved for passing judgement on the post (e.g. if the question is bad to ask in the first place, as opposed to merely having a negative answer [or even an easy answer of any kind]).

[or even an easy answer of any kind]

This. It's bad to spend anyone's time or collective attention on trivial uninteresting things.

I wouldn't want my karma to be killed just because I introduced someone else's idea for provocation, and didn't make any solid recommendations.

Vladimir, why do you think this is insane? I would really be interested in an elaboration, thanks.
