Return to Question

I have noticed that people want to give answers and leave comments that the question is not asking for. This question, for example, has people immediately saying "don't" instead of just answering the question. Why? Why do people try to say "don't" or similar things instead of simply providing an answer to the question that was asked? Why does there need to be discouragement for certain courses of action just because it might not be a course of action other individuals might agree with?

EDIT

At this point I feel it necessary to add this question after receiving certain answers about this being a sort of database for everybody instead of just the asker. What use is an archive if it is filled only with variations of the same answer?
