Well i'll tell you (i do love philosophical discussions) ....
In the early days of UNIX.COM over a decade ago, we had a lot more of these high level abstract, teaching discussions.
From my count, we are one of the oldest, if not THE oldest, "original tech forum" still standing and running.
We have some core folks here with the combined experience of many hundreds of years experience in IT; not only me.
Some are not active now, some come and go; even me over the years, I have been busy on other projects, some lasting years, and not as active as now.
But, we at UNIX.COM are still adding great value with a huge database of knowledge and factual information and solutions to real-world problems.
Thanks to everyone to have contributed over the years and who contribute now.
If I had of not been sided tracked with scuba diving and traveling the world for five years, and other projects (like cyberspace situational awareness), UNIX.COM would be much more popular (busy with more active users) as I could have kept the forums more current with new features.
But we will always strive to be "low noise" and "high signal" at UNIX.COM.
I think we have one of the highest "signal to noise" ratios on the planet with regard to information facts and technology.
Plus, I am the first to admit, I tend to go to YouTube for tutorials and knowledge these days and spend little time in any forum, except this one.
