TL;DR version: If you saw my Town Hall Digests, what can be done to improve them, given Michael Mrozek's format and Yi Jiang's GM script? Should these even exist, and if so, what format should they take?

There are a sizable number of new users who stumble across StackOverflow from a Google search, see an answer which almost helps them, and leave another answer asking for more help.
Currently, there is no good way to deal with such people.
Can we have an option to promote such answers to new que...

My understanding of who has diamonds:
All moderators have diamonds on the sites they moderate

I want to simulate a heat source (eg a cpu) connected to a heatsink without any cooling fans. The simulation will run indefinitely using small time steps.
What i want to measure at each time step is the temperature of the heat source and the temperature of the heatsink at each tick (of time).

I have read some user requesting auto-completion when typing a user name with the @user notation, but I'm missing something simpler. It's the fact of displaying those user names in comments highlighted.

Once in awhile, (here is an example) a post is great as-is, but does need just a few characters changed. In fixing the example post, I ran into a requirement that (as far as I know) only seems to apply to low-rep users - edits must change at least six characters. In this case, I saw nothing mor...
According to @balpha, he SE chat sites may have individual Easter eggs, depending on the site. If you find them, please post.

Because it's so easy to make this stuff up, a screenshot as proof would be nice. (Although Photoshop ain't that hard either...)
The best way to know a man is to walk a thousand miles in his shoes. That way, he's a thousand miles away and has no shoes.
I'm willing to bet it's a Jack Handey quote, as it's rather in that vein of thinking, but the question came up, and since "walk a thousand miles in [his] shoes" is so ...

Before you criticize someone, you
should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way when you criticize them, you
are a mile away from them and you have

I used to be a sock puppet, but I have become independent now. I don't need the hand.
It's against the rules creating sock puppets. Period! (Ok, Jeff is an exception). Flag one of his posts for moderator attention and explain your concerns.
