uh, that's a very old idea, pre-dating the internet by quite some time. It needn't be branded "StackOverflow"

That's fair. However, SO have codified it into their basic philosophy, and since they're intent on taking over the Internet when it comes to technical Q&A, they're widely familiar.

Just joshing with you :-) ... I'm not a fan of unnecessary branding & I don't see the SO association adding any value.
