Haha, I really felt the "There are no Nazi-like moderators like StackOverFlow." point. Up until this day I'm scared of asking question on Stack Overflow. How do you feel about having your own personal blog (your domain and all)? I always had this fear that if something goes south with the hosting websites, I will lose all of my content. Thx for the input.

Just last week I tried to help someone on StackOverflow. I had put in a link to a post made here which was perfect fit for the answer. What happened was my reply was deleted. When I asked about it, I was told Links are not allowed because you are promting that other site! When I complained about it I was voted down 20 times. So I just deleted the meta post, my original reply and deleted many others just like it. I'm done trying to help others on StackOverflow.

Personal blog is ok but I usually put all my time into real job.
