However, if you look at an un answered question (next time), you will see that it is actually quite difficult (no doubt deliberately) to read a thread on a question before answering it.Well, actually no, it's easy. And straightforward. And obvious.
No it isn't, not if you're not clicking a link from an email. The emails contain the author of the question but the question page itself does not, see the attachment of today's question as an example. Of course it is easier if you have that information but I didn't, and I would think kaspencer didn't. Personally I don't have time to answer a question a day when i get the email, i go on once a week or so and answer the ones i've missed. In a situation like that being able to check why a question might look odd isn't really very easy to accomplish.
