William,

As I read your reply, it's in essence positive and not what Vlad reads in it: ("Also, as William Sanders said, you did not said anything except complains"). Hope you agree.

With regard to your question: I'm not asking for yet another category that answers questions. I think that the current categories are excellent for that purpose. I'm asking for a category especcially for those who like fundamental discussions. I think that such a category can prevent, what you call, 'flame-wars' in the other categories. Also, in the other categories those who reply can include links to relevant fundamental discussions, thus further decreasing the chance that an answer is in fact wrong.

Your re-assign idea requires a moderator, I guess. Sounds okay to me. Maybe the originator of the thread can also be a moderator.

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
