I guess this'll teach me to ignore meta for a few days. ;) This bothers me primarily because HopelessN00b is loud and brash and confrontational, and ran on a platform of, to put it n00b-ily, "slammi …

I was one of the people who rejected many of your edits (and approved others). Namely, any edit that consisted solely of removing the word "Thanks" at the bottom got a no. In one case, you'd removed …

ChrisS said here that y'all were looking for text for an "ask your vendor" close reason. I'd like to propose: Questioners must have required access to fix the problem. Some questions are more …

I'm going to say "leave them open" just because I've supported a couple of vendor products that require Apache on Windows. Those were mainstream packages (things like McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator) tha …

I'm drunk/not reading carefully/don't hang out here much. Why should I vote for you instead of some other person? What problems does Server Fault face that are unique to Server Fault?

Dude. It sounds like you're stressed out--I would be, too, if I were given that task--but this is not how you get people to help you. Especially since, well. Michael Hampton has always struck me as …

Speaking only for myself: I got really busy at work. I think that's just something that's going to happen to everyone from time to time. I also find that unless I spend a certain amount of time o …
