Reading through the Q&A is a good way to refresh your knowledge on a wide variety of Chicago style points. It also provides an opportunity to laugh evilly at the questioners and speculate on topics such as oh this question is so obvious why did they even need to ask? or gracious this question is so nonsensical, this asker can’t even be a real copyeditor, or oh my goodness, the poor dupe, his question only reveals the depths of his ignorance, etc. etc.
For those such as myself, who would never take pleasure in feeling smarter than others, reading the Q&A is purely a way of increasing our knowledge.

“I’ve worked with the staff at Dragonfly for years, and I trust their editing completely. We’ve used them on federal proposals, commercial proposals, IT documentation, marketing collateral … you name it. They are especially helpful on large projects, when we need a team of editors to get a lot done in a short timeframe. They also have great writers who can handle everything from white papers to case studies. Dragonfly is our editorial dream team!".
