    Wilton (I don't immediately remember your first name, we had a nice discussion over the Jordan Curve Theorem), that was my purpose in putting it on Meta. My hope is that, when a pleasant but misguided youngster asks a question, they can be guided to other sites **before** being told "oh, by the way, the question is about to be closed on this site."

    Second point, I managed to shoehorn in the artofproblemsolving site, because of Gjergji's comment at
    http://mathoverflow.net/questions/43346/combinatorial-equation
    Downvoted because I would like to see less questions like this in the future. On the other hand this question is perfect for artofproblemsolving. – Gjergji Zaimi Oct 24 at 19:01

    Dear Will Jagy,

    Your question would probably be appropriate at one of:
    http://math.stackexchange.com/
    http://cstheory.stackexchange.com/
    This site is for research-level questions, in mathematics itself, that are likely to have short well-defined answers. "Research-level" means, roughly, questions that might be discussed between two professors, or between graduate students working on Ph.D.'s, but not usually between a professor and the typical undergraduate student. It does not include questions at the level of difficulty of undergraduate homework.

    Unfortunately, your message implies an incorrect claim that cstheory.stackexchange.com allows non-research-level questions. Please do not include cstheory.stackexchange.com in a list of the sites suggested for non-research-level questions. I do not know if this is related, but we are currently observing an undesired increase in the ratio of homework questions at cstheory.stackexchange.com. Please see a discussion on meta.cstheory.stackexchange.com for more information on this.

    Dear Tsuyoshi Ito,
    I've stopped using it, too many people screamed at me, usually the people who belong least on any research site. I did put in artofproblemsolving and wanted to put in the original stackexchange for programming questions, but I ran out of characters (comments are up to about 600 characters) and ran out of strength.

    Sorry about the excess homework questions. I would be surprised to find that anybody gave a crap about a comment of mine, but I am quite happy to delete any of the ones to which you are objecting, and leave out any mention of cstheory in case I ever use it again.

    I could not be sure, it appears someone on cstheory figured out how to locate these comments. If you can post links to the questions here I will go and delete the comments. They are not recent enough for me to see them on my profile "recent activity" page.

    How's this?

    Thank you for your consideration. I cannot find any of these comments, but if I realize one, I will write here or add a comment on the same page as the comment.

    It's better if you put the notice here, they were comments by me, which means I will not be notified by the software. At least here on Meta i can see that you or Kaveh made a new post.

    Henry Wilton used an abbreviated form of my comment but mentioned only math.stackexchange, probably smart.

    I suppose I was trying to cover all the bases.
