Funny, it's the lack of moderation that scared me away from answering. (And I say that as someone who's… kinda been scared away from asking by excessive moderation.) It's the age-old question: how can Stack Overflow be all these different things to all these different people, simultaneously?

It's an incredibly difficult problem, and it's a people problem - as so many companies find out; they're solving people problems and the technology is really a side-note.

(This is the real answer to the "why does tech company X have so many employees" question)

Don't be scared of moderation. Just ask the question. If it gets shut down, you can ask again via copy+paste. Just edit the question slightly so it doesn't piss someone else off.
