Looks like one editor killed it and another revived it. I'm going to kill this, though; this sort of thing makes boring reading.

  Tangent: does voting just not work?

    As long as you have a concept of offtopic, I think you have to be able to kill stuff that is, or even with downvoting you'll get topic drift. Reddit showed that. (Reddit wasn't trying to avoid topic drift. They were trying to evolve into whatever interested the most people. But the goal here is different.)

  I'm sure it does for some. Isn't that what the karma system is for? It seems a bit capricious to me. Since people put work into these things, it would be reasonable to expect some sort of guidelines here. "Don't bore pg" might be fine, if that's what you want. But I didn't see that in the guidelines either.

    What I meant is I'm killing the post asking why the first got killed, since it's no longer dead.
