| Dec 21, 2012 at 6:33 | comment | added | hippietrail | I agree that adding a tag for a good post that isn't a "one right answer" would not warrant any tags added, but a perfect specific "one right answer" to a Romania / Bucharest question is going to be of interest to people watching those tags - (and more for future less trivial questions). And no matter if the OP knew it at the time or not, this was, is, and ever shall be a Romania question and a Bucharest question - ignorance does not make it cease to be one! Refusing to add these exactly perfectly ultra-relevant tags due to overinterpretation of the word "question"? That's just totally silly. | |

| Dec 20, 2012 at 8:40 | comment | added | mindcorrosive | @hippietrail: of course, edits should be made to improve the quality of questions and answers, but not their intent. Besides, posts by definition should answer OP's question, that's how they are deemed to be useful. We've seen a lot of examples of good posts that don't answer OPs question, but are valuable nevertheless. | |

We are in fact encouraged to edit questions and answers to improve them for everybody, and not to preserve them in the precise form the OP asked them. | |
