Indeed. I think one way to fix this problem is to draft a formal policy of what is on topic for luau. There were a few of us discussing this not too long ago. If we say luau is a great place to ask programming questions in the policy, then that would probably solve the problem. > If a separate mailing list will ease everyone's concerns, then so be it. That would be another solution.

Definately. So many people are either against the idea of creating a new list, or are in the middle, I don't think I'm going to right now. I think we should advertise though, that luau is an okay place to get such help. --Ray
