@JamesRyan Also, nowhere did I say that I (or anyone else) is here for entertainment - to be specific my exact words were We're here because we want to learn and see new/interesting things that may not come up in our environments. If the only questions the site is attracting are ones that can be answered by literally the first result in a Google search for the question title that is not conducive to intellectual stimulation, and the site will wither and die. ; I stand by that statement and I'll even come right out and say it: I don't want lazy people here.

| Aug 20, 2013 at 19:53 | comment | added | JamesRyan | Anyone care to answer? "b) when they try to ask the same question again this site gives them the existing answer, it can't do that if you have closed it as too basic.". This would actively stop some repeat bad questions. | |
| Aug 20, 2013 at 19:53 | comment | added | JamesRyan | Not at all, merely highlighting the double standard that you yourself brought up. | |
| Aug 20, 2013 at 17:26 | comment | added | EEAA | @JamesRyan - in regards to entertainment vs. profession. Those two are not mutually exclusive. Speaking for myself (and many other users here, I suspect), I greatly enjoy sysadmin and am indeed entertained by the practice of systems administration, by learning more about it, and through teaching others. I agree with ChrisS - you are just trolling at this point, trying to find the smallest nits to contradict. | |
| Aug 20, 2013 at 16:41 | comment | added | JamesRyan | In your closing comments you say that you are here for entertainment and intellectual stimulation while the goal of the site is supposed to be to provide expert answers to sysadmins working in a professional capacity. This seems to be a discrepancy. Also if you answer those questions rather than whining about them a) this site will be the first answer in google search and b) when they try to ask the same question again this site gives them the existing answer, it can't do that if you have closed it as too basic. | |
