Source of All Knowledge - QA Exchange

“The art and science of asking questions is the source of all knowledge.” - Thomas Berger

“There are no foolish questions and no man becomes a fool until he has stopped asking questions” - Charles P. Steinmetz

Although many of us know that there is Wisdom in Asking Questions, we still at times do not ask questions when we do not understand. Why? The following excerpt could be one of the reasons:

"Researchers have found that a fascinating change takes place in schoolchildren. When they begin their studies, strong and weak students show an equal willingness to ask questions when they do not understand. However, as they get older and begin to understand their relative position in the class, students, especially weaker students, become reluctant to ask questions and reveal what they do not know." - Source: 100 Simple Secrets of Successful People by David Niven

“If there is something to gain and nothing to lose by asking, by all means ask!” - W. Clement Stone

The following are typical problems that some of us are facing:

• There are just too many blogs or websites to search through; thus it is difficult to find solutions or answers
• One needs to spent a lot of time to sift through thread of messages; yet still could not find the solution
• One may not or don't know how to post questions; thus have to live with the problems unsolved
• One could not find or could have posted to the wrong forum; thus nobody answer questions posted
• One find it difficult to get somebody to visit or read their blogs or websites

To resolve the above problems, I am starting a blog for QA exchange. I had posted the Rules and How this works at Solutions Repository (http://solutions-repos.blogspot.com).

Although this may looks like a meme but this project is different from meme where anybody can post questions and anybody can answer questions posted. Thus, there is no need to tag somebody who might not be interested at all. Only those interested will be participating in QA Exchange! Besides, preferably only unique questions (can still have different version if necessary) will be posted and questions are moderated and stored at Solutions Repository for those seeking answers or solutions.

Below are some of the benefits of having QA exchange:

• You can get a lot of answers (by different bloggers / websites owners) to your question
  
• Answer comes to you instead of you having to search for it
• Those that don't ask question can still get answers to questions posted by somebody
  
• Those participate in Questions or Answers (QA Exchange) can get a lot of good link exchanges because of related topics
• Your blog got publicized and thus can get a lot of good traffics from interested readers
  
• Questions can suggest more interesting topics for blogs / websites
• Different answers can promote more interesting interactions among bloggers
