        I saw that earlier too. The two additionally interesting things are: 1.) He has answered over 30,000 questions! (Since 2008) 2.) There is a guy who has answered over 40,000 questions since 2012!! What!?! User Gordon Linoff - Stack Overflow[^] Mind-boggling!

          No, no - I'm happy for him. I couldn't stay there long enough to do that - the attitude stinks IMHO - but if he's helping people, then good on him!

                  Answering questions isn't the problem. Answering questions with valuable information, now that's the trick. Fortunately, Jon's one of the good ones but how many forums have we seen where people answer questions just for the sake of "reputation"?
