Occasionally AMZN will send out questions others have asked about products to you in the form of an email if you have previously purchased the same product. Some people mistake those for questions directly asked to them instead of realizing where their answer will be posted. StackOverflow doesn't do that AFAIK.


See my other reply. It’s not fair to even say the user is making a mistake; it’s Amazon purposely manipulating users into thinking they’re being personally asked a question to game their way into getting more answers.


Oh. I didn’t think of that. I’m too naïve. Thanks!
