This works OK. I've enjoyed some of the discovery at the Linguistics desk, and Humanities is good too. I don't know why I browse Computing as the primary desk, because it's really uninteresting to someone like me. Of course this area has "regulars" who ask questions every week, and there are also sockpuppets and trolls. One guy, Dinglepincter, recently posted erudite nonsense to a couple different desks before he was found out and reblocked. Unfortunately, the reference desks are trusted by people who ask questions there. Citations aren't required there, but volunteers can do some research and link you to resources. It's probably on the same level as a Stack Exchange.
