Comments.Text: @Sekhemty well, your question linked above is also off-topic according to the FAQS because you're simply shopping for various search engines. but as you've seen it worked, because people found it useful. so why do you want to close my question, which can be useful to a lot of people, just because you personally think it's off topic? it is not – in fact, it's a huge problem - not being able to find the right ebook designer, so the question is asking for different ways to do that.

In fact, we have an entire site for that kind of discussion: [Ebooks Meta](http://meta.ebooks.stackexchange.com/). That is the right place for asking what is on-topic and debating whether question X should be closed and question Y left open. That said, @Sekhemty has correctly stated the reason that this post is off-topic.

Comments.Text: @deemeetree I'm not sure how you meant the word "polizei," but you should know that it can be considered mildly offensive. As for your question, there's really no way for the community to edit it to make it on-topic. As you asked it, it is not about ebooks. There's no obvious way to turn it into a question about ebooks, instead of a job posting. That's why people commented on it and voted to close it.
