<p>My question (<a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/108765/12615">In inverse theory, how do I transform the averaging kernel matrix to a new grid?</a>) earned me the <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/help/badges/40/tumbleweed?userid=12615">tumbleweed badge</a>: <em>Asked a question with no votes, no answers, no comments, and low views for a week</em>.  What is the "take home" message for that?</p>

<ul>
<li>No downvotes – it is apparently not considered a bad question.</li>
<li>No close votes – it is apparently not considered off-topic.</li>
<li>No comments, no upvotes, no answers (before I figured out my own answer a week later, and posted it).</li>
</ul>

<p>What can I learn from the tumbleweed badge?  What is the "take home" message when I get it?  Is such a question too specialised, too localised, or simply not very interesting?</p>

<p>(<strong>Edit:</strong> It seems this post has generated some attention to the linked question, eliminating its former tumbleweed status.  But the question remains.)</p>
