IMHO:
There are [or at least there were, "in the past"] places (like, in
certain Usenet news groups), where the snippety arrogance is [/was],
"Piled Higher & Deeper" -- [by far] -- than here on PLUG-Discuss.
OTOH, there may be some places that are (usually) more polite.
But overall, in my experience, considering the speed and quality of
help / advice available, and the tone here (which does have its ups
and downs), I would give PLUG a "reasonably nice" rating.
YMMV.
