But my assertion (of course possibly false) is that the problems I'm
talking about are structural to the approved answer format.   Do you
think that's possible?

I do often find answers on StackOverflow, but often on mailing lists -
as far as I can see, google indexing has been pretty good in guiding
me to the right answer on a mailing list.   StackOverflow is the place
often end up if I want to fix a compilation error and I don't much
care why the error happened, but I don't think that's a good model for
the nipy projects.

See you,

Matthew
