| Jan 20, 2015 at 11:42 | comment | added | j0equ1nn | Me too ... I can't believe this was closed! We've got a post with about 100 upvotes about the best math jokes, justified by the fact that it's of interest to mathematicians. But that doesn't apply to this!? I guess maybe be careful of telling too much to the folks who closed it! | |

| Aug 7, 2011 at 23:58 | comment | added | Kim Morrison | btw -- if you're going to use our informal mechanism for delaying closures by stating that you vote to keep the question open, please make sure that you have the relevant (3000 reputation). It's already enough clutter with these comments, as is. | |
| Aug 7, 2011 at 23:33 | comment | added | Will Jagy | any newcomers, the thing to do is vote up Francois' link to the Meta thread so it becomes visible as one of the top five upvoted comments | |

| Aug 6, 2011 at 21:47 | comment | added | Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine | @Mark: this question is not like the ones you compare it to. The relevant cultural norms differ between different disciplines; good advice about this in maths may look very different, in some respects, to good advice about this in physics or philosophy. Experienced mathematicians will have lots of relevant knowledge about this that a priest or psychiatrist would not. | |

| Aug 6, 2011 at 11:06 | comment | added | user6976 | @oliver: The question is essentially about the second commandment: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments. Anonymous can ask a) his/her parents b) religious leaders c) psychiatrists. Unlike mathematicians, people in b) and c) are trained to answer this sort of questions. | |
| Aug 6, 2011 at 10:05 | comment | added | Dr Shello | I voted to KEEP OPEN. | |
| Aug 6, 2011 at 8:07 | comment | added | Francesco Polizzi | I vote AGAINST closing, too. | |
| Aug 6, 2011 at 6:46 | comment | added | user6976 | Yes, math research community is interested in this type of questions. Note, though, that math research community consists of human beings. So many mathematicians are interested, for example, in sex. Still questions "where do I get a date?" are not appropriate in MO. | |

| Aug 6, 2011 at 4:00 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | While I'm not (yet) voting to close, I do think that the question is a bit vague and subjective, in its current formulation, with words like "how safe" and "is it possible". However, I do think it is both an important issue for starting would-be researchers, and one where valuable information could be given by MO users provided the question is made slightly more focused | |
| Aug 6, 2011 at 3:55 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | Asking only people close at hand could result in missing a good answer that someone in the broader community might offer. I'm puzzled as to what the objectionable non-specificity is in this particular question. | |
| Aug 6, 2011 at 3:48 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | I've also voted to close as the question isn't very specific. A more appropriate place for Anonymous to ask this might be a supervisor, people in their department, etc. | |
| Aug 6, 2011 at 3:41 | comment | added | Oliver | This question seems fine to me. It is certainly of importance to the research community. And where else would Anonymous ask this? | |
| Aug 6, 2011 at 3:39 | comment | added | Anonymous | It is a "career" question, having its own tag... | |
| Aug 6, 2011 at 3:37 | comment | added | user6976 | It is not a research question. Voted to close. | |
