Small typo by the way:

 

The homepage says "...a la 'Stack Overflow'...".

 

Sorry, I'm not "down" with this hip, new lingo. >.> I thought "a la" meant "by means of".

 

I'm kind of confused about the "Off Topic" questions, by the way. I tried reading the site's FAQ, but it seemed more focused on the site process. Could you please explain that to me? I think it means a question that's not a good one, but isn't that "Not A Good Example"?

The point of the examples is to differentiate between questions that the community would address and questions the community would not address

 

"Not a good example" means that the poster didn't pick a good example to differentiate. "Off-Topic" means that the question is a good example of an off-topic question, ie. one that would not be addressed by the community.

I think I understand, but that usually denotes that I don't. We'll see. I just don't want to waste all my Questions on bad examples.
