I have very little experience with StackOverflow, and much more with TeX.StackExchange, and now I recall that I find the latter much, much friendlier (especially toward newbies). I'm not sure whether cases of downvoting I've seen ran into two digit numbers, for instance. Also, closing questions is a very rare situation. And after looking at a few discussions on SO, I was appalled by the nastiness of some comments... Best, --=20 Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Adam Mickiewicz University
