Another potential conflict between sage-support and ask.sagemath... Some people probably answer more easily on email, and will perhaps ignore ask.sagemath requests; others vice-versa. On ask.sagemath there is this mystifying but cool 'karma', while not on sage-support. Also, duplication can run r

And another thing ... ;) Why is it that several questions say they have no answers when they do have potential answers? Why is http://ask.sagemath.org/about/ useless? Why does the FAQ not explain the confusing color system? How did I get 1 karma just for signing up? That seems odd. The questi
