in thread Categorized Q&A Cleanup Finally....

I think answers taking a long time in not a Good Thing. Imaging this scenario:
Q: Where can I learn about regular expressions?
... someone answers perlpre withing 2 minutes...
... 6 hours go by because no moderators are online ...
A moderator comes online, sees 30 Q&A to weed through, spends an hour on it, doesn't get to this one. In the meantime, 10 other people answer.... moderators get bogged down having to approve EVERY answer before they get posted.. people get angry at moderators because no answers are being posted... etc...

Cheers,
KM

    SOPW exists for fast answers. Q&A exists for good answers.

    <KM> I see no reason why Q&A can't be both
    <neshura> do you always like to optimize for two variables?
    <KM> no but...
    <neshura> i ROCK and you know it :)

    (hypothetical chatter, just kidding KM)

    e-mail neshura

      Why not have quick and good answers??? :) Maybe I am confused by the Q&A and SoPW sections. Either way... I hypthetically know you rock.
