Is it proper to answer a question by asking another question?

[Edit]

Good question.

No, it's not. We aim to grow simple questions and answers -- Q&A's that can become part of FAQs. We don't want WikiAnswers to be just another Web discussion forum. From experience we've found that allowing follow-up questions turns question pages into discussion threads.

Instead of asking a follow-up question, ask a new question.
