| Apr 20, 2015 at 21:23 | comment | added | Peter Cordes | Ok, then I stand by my stance that it would be ideal if questions could be sent where they belong, to keep related questions on the same site as much as possible. This is only good if it can be done without closing questions and forcing a re-ask, but rather by moderators moving them so it looks like it was posted on the correct site in the first place. | |

change to a "programming belong on Unix, other stuff is fine here"

| Apr 18, 2015 at 11:52 | comment | added | Peter Cordes | Thanks for the heads up about voting. I still think that unless stackexchange gets better about handling topics across sites, it's preferable to have everything in a subject on one site, so "related questions", search, and tags work properly. I agree with your point that stackoverflow isn't the ideal place, even though it has a huge amount of existing answered questions. Updated my answer to take out "or stackoverflow" in a few places | |
| Apr 18, 2015 at 11:34 | comment | added | terdon | Remember that on meta, votes usually indicate simple disagreement, don't take it personally. Yes, apparently some people, myself included, disagree with your answer. I see no benefit to anyone in sending shell scripting questions to be lost in the abyss of Stack Overflow. They're on topic here, and extremely on topic on Unix & Linux, let them stay where they are asked. Personally, and I admit I might not be entirely impartial here, I would hate to see Stack Overflow take the scripting questions away from the *nix sites. Scripting is *nix and they belong there. | |
| Apr 18, 2015 at 2:07 | comment | added | Peter Cordes | I have no idea why this was downvoted. It's not because I'm disagreeing with people about general-purpose scripting questions being on-topic here instead of unix or stackoverflow, is it? | |

make it clear that I'm saying mostly questions are in the right place
