So there's this discussion I started (though I guess it's pretty much just myself and one other guy) in the
"What's your most useful shell?" thread - Neo suggested that it shouldn't be there and gradually I came to agree with him, so I posted my next message of the discussion to a new thread, which I titled "Speculative Shell Feature Brainstorming"
It's a great big post, a wall of text with lots of technical information. Personally, I think someone's not even going to get it unless they're already rather good at shell to begin with. And a moderator has shuffled it into "What's on your mind?" in the lounge.
In the "Guidelines for posting here" thread:
Quote:
This area is not for technical questions. Please post technical questions in the forums, not in the lounge.
This area is to "get away" from technology
So, it kind of seems like the wrong place for an information-dense technical discussion. I suspect, to the extent anybody was interested in what I had to say to begin with (which, you know, not trying to say it's anything personal there, I think there's probably just not a lot of people interested in the subject to the extent I am) that in "the lounge" the thread will be
entirely ignored.
The impression it's left is that my thread is flat-out unwelcome here. I don't know if that was the intent. If that was the intent, I guess I can do something else with my time rather than continue that discussion. If that wasn't the intent, then maybe the thread should go somewhere that will be visited by people who are interested in a technical discussion, perhaps?
