That was "What Python blogs do you regularly follow?"

That's a good question. It wasn't just closed, it was redacted from existence.

That reads like a question I'd see on Quora. It's open-ended, has virtually no right or wrong answer, and calls for people to evangelize their favorites and perhaps even their own blogs (I realize this sentence might sound like an unequivocal criticism of Quora, which was not intended).

On cursory glance, a similar question actually is on Quora: http://www.quora.com/Computer-Programming/What-are-the-best-...

Which SE site though? That question is totally open-ended, it could generate answers forever. One of the key philosophies of the Stack Exchange sites is to suppress extended discussion.
