> I can assure you that the question we mark as duplicates the most I can assure you that when I end up on SO I somehow run into questions like I described. Or I have a problem like I described but I don't bother asking a SO question because I know the mods will descend on me like vultures :) SO moderation may be good for beginner questions like you describe, but I'm past those and my problems tend to be pretty subtle. > your experience with the site will vary Well my experience with the site tends to be zero these days, unless a search brings me there. I used to look for questions to answer in my areas of expertise on my morning coffee, but then the push for ready to copy/paste answers happened and my answers that tried to get the asker to think for themselves weren't good any more.
