What do you all think about things like this question:

As far as I can tell, this has nothing to do with Tor other than they've added the caveat that all traffic will be going through Tor. However, the question itself is just a Python / sockets question that could easily be asked without the Tor caveat on SO. Several of the programming questions we've seen so far have seemed this way to me.

Maybe we should build a list of good/bad programming questions to give us some idea of what's on topic, and what's not. Things like "how do I implement part X of the path spec with a stack?" seem reasonable to me, things like "How do I proxy a connection... oh, and it's going to be going through Tor" seem like they'd get better results on SO. Thoughts?
