3$\begingroup$ @F1Krazy Yes? I'm not sure what the implication is supposed to be? I'm busy in real life and don't see every question immediately, nor do I immediately vote to close every off-topic question, since the community sees that as unwelcoming. $\endgroup$2024-10-11 13:26:29 +00:00Commented Oct 11, 2024 at 13:26
