Do you consider it to be sort of rude for someone to answer a question on Fluther, without reading the details section?

Some of the best questions on Fluther have a humorous or sarcastic element to them that is clarified in the details section. Reading the question and then the details is an important part of the Fluther interaction. The details section often provides a context that is missing when people are not face to face.Some questions take on an entirely different meaning or intent after reading the details.

Maybe it is just one of my pet peeves.

But it is very obvious at times that people join into a answer/comment thread without having read the details section and thus they have missed the point.

It makes them look impulsive at best, or silly at worst. Having done it once or twice myself, I know.

But more than that, don’t you think that it is sort of rude, or at least a little inconsiderate?
