Well, while I agree that SO might have become a somewhat elitist plateform, maybe partly because a lot of professional developers are using their SO account to enforce their curriculum, it is not either supposed to be a kind of nursery for "wanna be" developers that happen to have a quick look on programming languages, and think SO is a forum where any question can be asked.
Sorry to say that, but I'm neither surprised nor offended by the closing of that post.
