I downvoted because, although you did answer the question, I thought the first half of your response was unnecessary snark -- making it sound like you'd prefer the questioner leave the site -- in response to a reasonable question about a feature that many sites do have. (Especially since it's a stupid questions thread.)
Thanks for explaining your downvote. I was not, as it happens, recommending that the questioner leave the site, nor expressing a preference that s/he do so. I just thought it was funny. The possibility of that misinterpretation did occur to me, but I didn't find it serious enough to worry about. Perhaps I was wrong; in any case, if WhyAsk happens to be reading this and took me to be saying "go away", I hope s/he will accept my apologies.
[EDITED to add: It looks like my comment is on +5-3, which suggests that probably at least two other people took it as hostile snarking. Oh well.]
Thanks for your answer.
You're welcome. (In the light of discussion elsewhere in the thread, I should maybe say explicitly that the first part of what I wrote was not intended to be any kind of suggestion that you go away.)
