I'm with Mike S. on this one...
Also if I may add: there was a trend over at the "other place" to answer a question with either an interrogative, or an assault on the question or on the OP him- or herself, rather than answering it.
That is, a person asks, "How do I do X?" and instead of actually answering the question, someone responds with, "Why would you want to do X? What's wrong with you? Are you an idiot?", etc.
I'm beginning to see that happen here too, and I would encourage people to resist the temptation to do this... it doesn't accomplish anything, other than to make for a pretty unfriendly environment, where people are afraid to ask questions for fear of being ridiculed.
