On the one hand, [this question here][1] and [this answer here][2] specify "Expert questions to be answered by Experts". On the other hand, [the help page][3] states

> Anybody can ask a question

> Anybody can answer

In the question about FATE, one bit of an answer stated:

> It seems like people are so bogged down with non-expert fate questions
> that the first instinct is to give an answer suited for a beginner in
> the system and not an expert.

This points out that there are non-experts asking questions, that they are many (how are they bogging down people otherwise?), and that they aren't really welcome (at least, not by the answerer): they ask the "wrong" sort of questions.

So which is it?

I ask because I'm not an expert on D&D 4E, 2E, Numenera or Fiasco. I just play and GM them. I have very limited time and chances to play, often having dry spells of months between 4-hour sessions. I enjoy rereading my corebooks and splats, but without actual playtime, my questions and answers will never actually be of "expert level". 

The help page is inclusive, and makes me feel I can actually ask questions here. The answers and comments cited don't, they make me feel that I can at best lurk and check from time to time if something interesting shows up. In the end, I feel I'm almost restating [this question][4], though not exactly.
