Robert,
I'm a newbie myself on this community, with near to a year in it,
but not as active participation as I would like (I regret to
answer back as quick as I get some feedback, but I'm trying to
improve), so I don't know myself. I think that communities tend to
be different on the way they behave according to on-topic or
off-topic views. In the case of the Leo community, is not unusual
some kind of public monologue about how to solve some issues,
sharing "notes to myself" with all the list. In the case of
Pharo/Moose the meta reflection seems better in places like blog
post. I found this in my own case while asking questions in the
Moose mailing list in long posts where I give a lot of background
information and those did take a lot to be answered or where
ignored at all. I remember that one meta-question I made to the
list was "Am I asking wrong?" and after that I decided to test
this combination of long background or panoramic/extra reflexions
on blog post with more specific short questions in the respective
mailing list or chat channel. I got better feedback in all
channels (chat, mailing lists and blog comments) with this
combination. See and example here:

Hope this helps,
Offray

second paragraph you censor me.
