Because participation here is very low, I have jumped directly to edit the "elevator pitch" (site description) depicted in the Web Applications Tour instead of making as this is something very easily reverted in case that it be really necessary. The changes were

  1. Removed power users.
  2. Replace any questions with questions about the usage of web applications.
  3. Expanded the wording pointing to the detailed version of the meta post working as the table of contents about the site scope.

Welcome to Web Applications, a platform devoted to resolving all your inquiries about web applications.

Thank you for making this change:

  1. Removed power users.

I admit, I have expressed frustration with the closure of some questions. On occasion, you have expressed that the questions weren't fit for power users, and that's why they were closed. I felt frustrated by that, as I felt that this website is for all users of web applications. I was sure that the rest of the community felt similarly. It seemed to me that the moderators weren't listening. I got so frustrated that I had to take a break from visiting Web Apps at all for a month or two.

Today I eat humble pie and thank you for making this change in the wording. It seems to me you are only making it because of what the community said. Thank you for listening to the community on this.

    Thank you, @BlindSpots. I'm guessing you must feel that I'm sending mixed messages (with regard to my other posts and comments). I'm still frustrated, but I'm also glad that the moderators are willing to listen to the community on this point about the focus on power users. I know being a moderator is a difficult job.

    you don't need to guess. I'll tell you what I'm thinking 🙂 Are you aware that I created chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/148310/blind-and-flimm to chat with you and have left you some messages there. It is a great way to vent your frustrations when you don't want to post but want to rant.
