Do you really want the answers to Lua newbie questions to be
decided by majority vote of people who don't really know Lua?
This seems like a bad idea.
Hi Andrew, Stack Overflow to me turns out to be the most reliable
source on most questions. Not always, but usually spot on. If I see
it in a Google result, I go there first meanwhile. You can always
scroll down to read other answers, if the 'best' is useless, and
people are probably aware that this voting principle can slosh crap
to the top sometimes.
But it's really amazingly rare. The additional angles have the
benefit to be very educational about how you might have gotten *the
question* wrong in the first place, or what you were missing about
the underlying principles. The voting also helps suppressing the
typical arrogant one liner answers. Seems nobody likes them and the
wander to the bottom out of sight.
To me, SO is a good name, lending credence.
