Welcome to Software Engineering. We only support good, on-topic questions. Other sites have different topics. Feel free to take your topic to an appropriate site. Search existing answers first.

I'm not just all talk here. I've been doing this on Programmers. (Soon, root willing, to be named Software Engineering). We have almost the same situation ELL has with ELU.
