in thread On the serious issue of XP devaluation and other tangentially related or unrelated passing thoughts

My biggest grievance with SO is when I google some problem and it turns up almost the exact thing I'm looking for at SO; only to find some ^&^*&^ who didn't understand the subject matter has noticed it has two keywords he also doesn't understand in common with some otherwise unrelated question, and closes it as a dup.

Forever more, every attempt to find an answer to that question leads to that same unanswered and unanswerable post.

In general, the place seems to encourage and savour meta-responses over content, discussion or debate; which is not just sad; but intensely frustrating.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
