My personal exception for responding to my own question is to keep the query and question text short and clear. I then include more detailed info in my answer.; and perhaps a link. I can’t find an example offhand (note to Andrew; work on search) but my miseries with Milo come to mind.
I save the narration for my “answer” box. Last night, for example, I heard a racket similar to an elephant walking thru a wall. It was Milo; he had gotten into a crawl space and brought down several pressed board panels and the metal frames that made up a false ceiling in laundry room. If I had asked about that, I would have saved that last sentence (and a few more fraught details for my answer – such as Milo’s vanishing act and the fact that laundry room ceiling is now on the floor.)
A random opinion question probably wouldn’t come from me. I am not sure what a r o q is, actually.
