But Perl Monks vs Stack Overflow comparisons are pointless.

Well the real test will be "will StackOverflow start showing ads for google?" , as zby alludes to.

If they do, then all we are doing by answering questions there, is helping a startup. SlackOverflow may just need to reach that magical hit number where Google ads can be offered. There already are a bunch of "get answers" sites, that are blatantly mercenary...... I hate the ruse they use where they break up a simple answer into multiple pages, so you are forced to look at more ads.

And w-ber's observations about OpenID, at Re^3: Breaking Out of the Perl Echo Chamber: A Call to Action are enough to dissuade me from it.

On second thought, maybe I'll get me a fake OpenID, and will post some answers there, with links to Perlmonks as answers. ha ha :-)
