Second, it's just not true that good writing isn't required at SO. Some good developers I know are afraid to post there because the folks will harsh you if they take issue with your question. IMHO the writing for a technical site is harder, as small errors are more likely to cause significant confusion. I'm new here but not new to community boards, and those are my two cents. | |

SO is a bit of a different animal, first of all typically Q&As there don't require a lot of writing like they often do here, and second, it's a much, much bigger site that gets more questions in a day than this site gets in a year (two average days for them is our entire site history). A more accurate comparison might be a site like Biology, Money or Travel. | |
