[consulting] Who exactly is this list for?

It seems to me part of the issue is figuring out how to define what 
constitutes a 'support' query.

To me, 'How do I make Drupal do X' is a support question.

'Can Drupal be made to do X' or 'Is Drupal the best tools for X' are not 
support questions, and are appropriate to this group. A certain amount 
of 'How' is appropriate to answering such a question meaningfully.

Granted, the line between the two can be a bit fuzzy at times, but I 
think we should be liberal in what we allow. As long as some people are 
asking, and others are answering, I don't see a problem.

If some feel threatened that some members of this list choose to give 
away free advice for which the complainer might charge a client, I don't 
know what to say, except, don't tell your clients about this list. :-)

Can we start a separate list for discussing what discussions are 
appropriate for this list? :-P
