I'm open to being granted a special dispensation to browse and review the queues that I'm "not qualified for" because of "low reputation". I'm sure that a fair number of others that are equally quali …

As a follow-on to the following question, I have a concern. How much negative result is there to having some aggressive edit refusers? The pre-canned response did not indicate that it was a pre-cann …

"Very low quality", as a concept used to work once upon a time. Too many misguidedly altruistic people have destroyed its value over time. They disagree with the flag and then take it upon themself t …

In the question how do I echo $something >> file.txt without carriage return? which was asked and answered about a month ago, a new answer has been submitted which is essentially a duplicate (but stri …

To sum up: The best times to post questions (especially well formed ones that engage the thinking process) would be "banker's hours", US. So roughly 14:00-21:00 GMT. That way, even if your question …
