Bearing in mind the Ubuntu philosophy that Ubuntu is for everyone.  Would it not be appropriate to reason that Ask Ubuntu is for everyone?  If on reading a question that could be personally described as too broad by the reader the reader does not have to answer it.  It is askers choice to ask.  Readers choice to answer.  The community then will decide how appropriate question is by using the many features of Ask Ubuntu. Going by the answers to this question maybe this question could be considered to broad and is an example of different people reading the same paragraph will see it slightly different just as the same if there were two witnesses to an event both accounts would be different due a differing point of view!?  FAQ is guideline not concrete law! EDIT:Perhaps making a signed Ubuntu Code of Conducts together with reading FAQ a prerequisite in order to access Ask Ubuntu would provide a better way of introducing new users to what is acceptable and what is not.
