::::The essay looks otherwise fairly complete to me now, so perhaps we could just add a short list of definitely useful sites for now. [[User:Charles Matthews|Charles Matthews]] ([[User talk:Charles Matthews|talk]]) 19:45, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
 
:Stackexhange and its variants are a joke of a site. People dont get help there. These sites are mostly for the weak-ego'ed to find validation in their pseudo-contributions. Personally Ive never had a decent answer given to me satisfying a question. Not once. I do get platitudes and naive answers from people who dont understand the question. Or trivial and degenerate solutions, or non-answer commentary. But mostly I get people being patronizing and mocking the question. If the question is hard to answer, they will usually accuse you of cheating. And if theythe question is easy, they jump on it all too easily to win easy points with the community. LocksLots of mocking. Lots of pretentiousness. And this isnt just my opinion. Its the opinion of many people I know, both student and faculty, at the University. Math majors and their math doctorate-holding professors all think the stackexchange network is an utter waste of time.
