I disagree that beginner and professional are mutually exclusive. I've met extremely professional beginners and outrageously unprofessional IT veterans. The motivated and curious beginner gets a lot of respect from me - as do the people who take the time to mentor them.

e.g. Questions about networking have and will be migrated to SF from SU regardless of whether it's personal or business hardware. If the poster can't determine where that line is, it's ok - that's why they implemented cross-site migration in the first place.

Merging questions is a good option when they're exactly the same and the second question has fetched some answers before it can be deleted.
