The technical qualifications of the responses are lacking. They usually seem to only know magical incantations that will get things to work and don't have deep familiarity because really competent people aren't googling for answers like we are so they never land on the page to give their 2¢ There needs to be different exclusion and barriers but not through the wacky constitutional sheriff system they are using. Mailing lists are decent because you know you're going out on blast so social norms kick in. If you mail say LKML, most people imagine important kernel people taking their time to read your blabberings and that likely stops those who can't improve the silence. SO OTOH seems too unbounded and freewheeling where popularity is more important than responsibility. It's the wrong cadence between invitation and expectation. Anyways, grumble grumble.
