| Sep 20, 2010 at 7:45 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @boot13 always quote + link | |
| Sep 19, 2010 at 17:00 | comment | added | boot13 | More questions: If I find the answer on another site and want to use that information in my answer, should I provide attribution? Should I link to the source? Is it acceptable to quote from the other site, as long as I provide attribution, or should I reword or simply copy the information? | |
| Sep 17, 2010 at 14:24 | comment | added | boot13 | @Diago, Sathya: Okay, thanks. I guess I didn't look hard enough. Google is Superuser's home page and no question is too easy. Got it. | |

| Sep 16, 2010 at 5:36 | comment | added | BinaryMisfit Mod | @boot13. Good luck. I won't hold my breath. On the original MSO this topic has often been discussed, in different forms, with different titles many many times. Jeff & Joel have both on many occasions made mention of the fact that Google is the home page, and that itself should answer your question. As a moderator team, we don't consider any question to be to easy, and the keyword in that is team. The moderators work together, not independently. | |

| Sep 15, 2010 at 21:18 | comment | added | boot13 | @Diago: I did spend some time searching for discussions on this topic but didn't find anything definitive. I guess I missed all the rehashing. Can you point me to some of those conversations? Now, if I'm interpreting your answer correctly, no question is too easy for SU, and ideally we want Google search results for computer use questions to point to Superuser. If that is indeed what you're saying, then you've answered my question and it remains only to confirm that this notion is shared by the other moderators and (possibly) the founders. +1 | |

| Sep 15, 2010 at 17:15 | comment | added | William Hilsum | +1 @Diago - @JNK not really.... People will Google and find their answer then leave or if the question is too different, they will ask another one. The best way to get them here in the first place is to have as many questions / answers (that are on topic) as possible! | |
