      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!

      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"?

                  He should take advantage of this fame to start his own consultancy services. $400-500 or even higher level billing.

                          Seems to me this is just a poorly veiled attempt at getting CP users to click through to stuckoverflow (latrine inuendo intended).

                            So you are accusing me of starting the topic in some kind of plot to drive traffic to SO... did I get that right?
