So I take the quality of this post along with this statement to indicate LW is not being friendly enough. I think we're currently losing more than we're gaining by being discouraging to newbies and lurkers. One suggestion I have that is probably unrealistic would be integrating the LW chatroom into the main site somehow so that people could get to it via a link from the front page. Chat feels like much less of a commitment than posting to even an open thread.
OP: good post. Don't worry about not being "up to snuff."
ABSOLUTELY!
In general, I think the bar for posts in Discussion is way too high. After all, if you want to have a discussion, the only thing you really need is a question.
Edit: Obviously there's value in starting off a discussion with something more than just a question, and that all else equal, you'd prefer to start the discussion with more rather than less. But I still get the impression that the general atmosphere is to hold Discussion posts to way too high a standard.
Agreed. I hope to do some work on the site in the next year or so (I'm not a good enough developer yet).
