Etiquette about reposting a question

Sometimes I post a question here and someone answers it quickly with an
answer like "well, I don't know much about this, but maybe such and such."
While I completely appreciate their effort, I might not get the answer I
need because then everyone else sees the thread as answered and leaves it
alone, and it drops down toward the bottom of the list. Is it ok to repost
the question in this situation? Or is there some way to mark a question as
"not quite answered"? I'm doing a thorough search of the newsgroup on google
before I ask in the first place.
thanks
