If anything, getting people to acknowledge that some of the people who are not professional sysadmins can still ask questions to a professional standard, which is a discussion that happened in here in meta fairly recently, represents a widening of the scope of the site compared to how it was when I joined, which must have been mid-2009 or so. | |

You would not agree this is connected to the discussion about the quality of questions? | |
| May 18, 2013 at 12:06 | comment | added | user9517 Mod | @syneticon-dj The wider group of professionals aren't System/Network Admins/Desktop Support professionals so that makes them amateurs which is evident from the (generally) low quality of the questions. My wife is a professional buyer but that doesn't make her a professional within the meaning of Server Fault which is the implication of your comment. | |
| May 18, 2013 at 11:35 | comment | added | the-wabbit | I think I can see the rationale behind focusing on "professionals" to ensure high-quality questions. So the current effort to narrow down the "professionals" group is the direct result of the very failure of a wider group of "professionals" to produce high-quality questions? | |
