Other equally privileged users may not think a question worth closing, and some may think it worth answering, and their opinions are just as valid. I upvoted Massimo's answer, because I thought it was a good one! To me, the fate of this question demonstrates the community in action. | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 14:24 | comment | added | Reaces | @JamesDonnelly It's one of the few consistencies with SF that while people might deride you for asking something that is considered outside of the scope, you still often end up with a great answer. | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 14:21 | comment | added | James Donnelly | @Sven that's fair enough. I received a decent answer even with the negative question response, so I can't really complain. | |

| Aug 21, 2015 at 13:13 | comment | added | Sven Mod | @JamesDonnelly: I don't like this recommendations. We get many questions here where people on SO point to SF without knowing the first thing about our site, and we end up with crap/OT questions. The problem is that unlike most/all other sites, our target audience is limited to professionals in the field. Also, I don't know the other SE sites good enough to make a recommendation for a question like yours (and I think it should be answered with "Read a good book about the fundamentals" anyway). | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 13:01 | comment | added | James Donnelly | @Sven I guess this is a different community, but on SO's Meta (and on SO itself) off-topic posts are usually pointed to a more suitable SE site. I made the assumption that as this site catered for networking it'd also cater for questions about IP addresses as URLs. | |
| Aug 21, 2015 at 12:41 | comment | added | Reaces | @sven I came across this a while back. As such I guess we should either try to come up with suggestions when it's asked on meta, or refer to meta.SE where it has been confirmed that site recommendations are OT? | |
