| Oct 30, 2014 at 17:26 | comment | added | Jonathan Eunice | Well if we hate "best practices" that much, I'd call that progress! At least we'll be consistent! | |
| Oct 30, 2014 at 17:20 | comment | added | user53019 | FTFY. :-) I don't see any mention of best practice in there (anymore). | |
| Oct 30, 2014 at 17:13 | comment | added | Jonathan Eunice | @GlenH7 I wasn't arguing about "discussion" in main vs meta. I was pointing out that one of the tags for meta is explicitly described as being about "best practices." I wouldn't want an "empty resonant cavity" on meta any more than on main. | |
| Oct 30, 2014 at 16:51 | comment | added | user53019 | Meta != Main (aka Programmers). Meta is for asking about why something doesn't work on Main, which can naturally lead to a discussion. The rules are intentionally different and are even reflected in this site's name of "Meta." Meta is to deal with meta things about Main. | |
| Oct 30, 2014 at 16:49 | comment | added | Jonathan Eunice | So best practices about the site are relevant, but best practices on the site are not? | |

| Oct 30, 2014 at 16:48 | comment | added | user53019 | On Meta, discussions are apropos. | |

Meta-postscript. As I was posting this, I was required to add a tag. The only one that seemed appropriate, discussion, is defined as: "designed to solicit opinions or best-practices ..." Yikes!
