I'm interested in this answer as well. I have definitely encountered a fair amount of pretentious responses and posts there (then again, look at this thread's topic), but they are (both) outweighed by the indispensable amount of help I have received from a typically very helpful and kind community.
Welcome to The Thread as well. As you are new here a very brief history. Yes, this thread began as a rant about questions being posted SSC. It has also grown from there in ways the title doesn't express. This has become The Water Cooler for many of us. Yes we still rant about some of the questions and OPs, but it allows us to let off steam, refocus, and dive back in to try and help some more. It has also server as location where we have asked others to help with questions that we have found ourselves out of our depth, we aren't all masters of every aspect of MS SQL Server.
We have also learned many things about each other during the time this thread has been active. If you have a few months you may want to start at the beginning. It would also help when you get confused when we talk about the TitD (the Tent in the Desert) and the Guard Hippo that protects it (last I knew he was wearing a pink tutu).
Again, welcome and enjoy your stay.
