NOTE I'm going to caution all involved. Do not let comments here devolve into un-constructive behavior. We're all here trying to do the best we can, and this topic deserves an honest, yet respectful conversation.

Sven's comment was not hostile. It was pragmatic. Though we would love to find a home for every single question that gets asked on SF, it's just not possible. Very few of us are active in a meaningful way outside of Server Fault and as such, are not overly familiar with the topicality of the dozens of other SE sites.

@MichaelHampton Agreed. It will likely not involve VMware Workstation/Parallels/Virtualbox, though. God help me if it does.

@mattburnett Can we just agree to stop with the ad hominem? That question has nothing to do with this discussion.

That's right, absolutely. But neither that point nor any of your other points give your question a right to be answered on SF.

Mark, what's the ID of your old account?

Agreed. I think it should go. Far too broad to be of any use.

Are they truly random? For some reason, I thought they were based off of recently-active tags.
