Nah, that should go under the Self-Help menu.

@Chris Maunder
Was the article deleted because it promoted a commercial tool?

I think this[^] is what you're looking for.
Maybe it was deleted, because someone tried to take credit for work they didn't do themselves?
My number one dev tool? Google

You had the "treat my content as plain text" checkbox checked.
Unchecked, all good again.

First time : the right one (text).
Second time : the uninvited one (html).
Not sure if this was just a one-off glitch or if it will repeat tomorrow. If so, I'll post again. For now this is just a FYI.

Sorry about that. CAn you please send me the uninvited?

I got the Daily news this morning at 01:33.
Two copies both HTML.

Chris,
for info;
Further to my post earlier about receiving 2 copies of the daily news at 01:33 this morning, that was in fact 2 copies of the Newsletter (31/10 Happy Halloween).
However, I received the Daily News ("Useful Coding...") at 11:12, then received another 2 copies at 13:46. (total now 3)

Again, same root case as my scenario. I'll email you directly.

The Lounge is for non-programmng questions and the forums/questions & answers are for programming questions, but there is a gray area. This is what people usually post in the Lounge and say "not a programming question" but people are divided as to whether or not it actually is a programming question. Usually, they are asking an opinion (e.g., how do you usually comment your functions) to explore a subject in depth rather than get a single straightforward answer.
For this type of message, I recommend a new forum, "Shop Talk". Then again, this may just be opening a new can of worms.

Nah - I can't see it working. I hate shopping.

I think we already have some shop talk[^] forums...

I wouldn't call those shop talk forums. Those are places for people to get answers. Not places for people to seek truth.
*meditates*

My two bits: it wouldn't hurt if folks lightened up a bit about what goes where. It's a coding community. People want to talk about code. Go figure.
A good tactic IMHO is to gently educate/remind the poster -- "Questions about X really ought to go over here..." -- and move the conversation forward -- "...but a good solution is Y."
There is I think a problem where *questions* can be asked in the QA areas, but *discussion* doesn't have an obvious home. Non-questions get nuked in a hurry in the Q&A areas. The Lounge ought to be a good place for general code discussion, but you run the risk of being flayed alive depending on how you word your discussion-starter and the mood of the Lounge denizens.
Again, my Rx is to chill and converse.

PS: Interesting programming-related discussions in the Lounge often get picked up for the Daily Insider. There aren't that many to choose from most days. That means more people directed to your thread, which means more people voting up your posts, which means Almighty Reputation.
See how that works?
Now go post something interesting in the Lounge.

I did not notice that. I was pulling what little hair I have left out trying to figure it out.
