From browsing the questions I see many that aren’t really questions, but for the actual legit questions it seems like these would be topics that would be hard to search for anyway…?

I’d be interested in hearing about the sociology of the regulars in this area, though… a $5 question isn’t much of a revenue stream, but maybe there are more important values for those participants…?
