When using ServerFault, I approach it from the perspective of a professional resource.  I use it to to provide solutions and see solutions provided to professionals.  Specifically from the FAQ:

> Server Fault is for system
> administrators and IT professionals,
> people who manage or maintain
> computers in a professional capacity

If it were not a professional resource, I would not be here.

A [recent post][1] had several comments encouraging catering to beginners regarding a question that would be posed by an average end-user and could arguably belong on Superuser.

My question is: **Are we going to pander to people who are asking general questions and are not knowledgeable about technology or the industry?**
