But it should be determined based on the category of the question, and not the category of the network that stimulated the question. There are questions some home networkers ask that belong in SF. Just don't tell 'em it's for a home network. There are other questions that should be migrated to SU. The problem with SU is that is doesn't distinguish between a "home super user" and a "home system/network administrator". Neither one necessarily implies the other. | |

The point of asking a question is primarily to get an answer, and secondarily to build a longer term knowledge base after all. | |

SF definitely has the most knowledge when it comes to networks and will always be the most likely place to get an answer, unless we punt. The FAQ makes "home" question OT with good reason however. | |
