    <p>The above statement is descriptive enough. Sometimes in the list,
      we encounter conversations about proprietary GIS which we respond
      to. But generally, we do not encourage specific questions about
      how to do certain tasks using proprietary GIS software. I am sure
      there are plenty of platforms for asking questions with regards to
      XYZ(proprietary) software.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Interesting questions could be like: <br>
    </p>
    <p>I usually do these tasks in software XYZ (proprietary) how do I
      do the same tasks using Open Source GIS software ?.<br>
