No digg on your response, but I wouldnt touch anything Quora...

You may not recall how Quora came up around these parts, but there was a lot of hubbub around how poorly they were using user-data years back, and golly, the village just up an ran 'em outta town.

Quora had a lot of promise, and then one day they started abusing user-data and privacy, and got all smug and pompous and a lot of people, myself, included, deleted accounts and never looked back.

Quora was, for a fleeting moment, that golden child of SV, but they got too bigg in the head, and thought other people wouldnt notice.

ick.
