I see the arguments and I agree that some things are better off done in other places (hence our various closure policies) but **we *are* tech support** and we're not the only ones. Almost every Stack Exchange site handles the stuff you hate in some form or another... We all also handle better more interesting stuff too.

I've made my thoughts on how we filter out the crappier aspects. With technology I think we can handle duplicates and poor quality questions *before* they end up on the site. We can filter people onto the right site before they post.

I started a drive toward something like this [in a Wizard][1] but it's serious work that needs time I haven't had. I hope that's understandable.
