  • Hello all. I've removed some of the Meta comments here, as they became obsolete after the question was re-opened. There's an open Meta question on this question, further discussion on the question's topicality should go there. Since the question has already gone through a close - re-open cycle, if you think it should be closed again, please go through the Meta discussion and raise your concerns there before casting your close vote.
