[Building Sakai] Don't steal my karma!

FYI
I think it is probably better to have Neal post questions from the dev
list if you want to answer them for the following reasons:

- http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/250204/can-you-answer-your-own-questions-on-stack-overflow
- http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/17845/etiquette-for-answering-your-own-question
- You can only do this if you have 15 rep.
- You have to wait 48 hours to accept the answer
- Finally, you get almost no reputation for answering your own question.

Last point, I find this a little distasteful as a practice (i.e.
asking people to not answer a question you posted so you can get
credit). Just IMHO though.

Much better to allow the community coordinator to post OR even better
to ask the poster of the question to post it on SO. However, I think
that Steve Swinsburg is working on where that stuff should end up so
we should maybe wait a week or so and see what they come up with.
