2017/12/23 | 471 | 1,842 | <issue_start>username_0: I am unable to provide an answer to a question because, apparently, I'm a noob. Yet, I can clearly see there is a question here that needs to be removed because it is outdated due to an iOS update. The info on the question is moot and anyone coming here would likely be mislead by the answers. H... |

2018/04/11 | 1,664 | 7,063 | <issue_start>username_0: Ask Different closes some questions as off topic and one broad category employed to keep the questions (and thus answers) highly focused on practical questions that have objectively verifiable answers.

2018/06/11 | 1,955 | 7,476 | <issue_start>username_0: I've found myself at odds when reviewing questions surrounding the beta version(s) of macOS (in this case, Mojave).
