The problem is that any phrase we use can be misinterpreted -- If we disallow "Hobbyist" / "Amateur" / "Enthusiast" questions we'll get "HI I'm the sysadmin for my small company. I've got this rack in my basement on my genuine 56K AOL Dial-Up connection and...". I think the intent of "Home setting" is pretty clear, and if we allow exceptions for remote-workers (implicitly by removing No exceptions.) we'll be OK. If we try to get into a word-war there will always be someone craftier than us trying to weasel in a truly off-topic question.

For tele-workers their "Office" and "Professional Environment" happens to share space with a non-professional environment. The non-professional environment doesn't infect their use of technology for professional purposes. Perhaps we need a different phrase than "Home Setting" but misinterpretation is a terrible excuse for defanging the FAQ. | |
