Stack Overflow leaves me with an icky (technical term!) feeling, I just can't grow to like the place (sorry). There's such a rush to get the fastest answer, even if it's pretty darned crap, or if you can't then you pad out an answer with bold text, useful code snippets and links to authoritative sources (in bold of course) in an effort to steal someone's eye and elicit an up vote.

Here, when the going's good, you get a chat from folks interested in discussing the subject and not really in it for the points scoring or kudos. Here, we are cute and cuddly *cuddles delayedinsanity*.

It would be nice if more folks were around on both sides of the asking/answering fence. It does get quite lonesome at times!
