This is what I miss from (the early) Stack Overflow: often the process of writing up a well-framed question ended up solving the problem.

I sometimes put out the question anyway and added an answer. Never quite figured out if this was considered bad style.

Jeff Attwood in his Coding Horror post about Rubber Duck Debugging mentioned that as well. I would think he wouldn't have considered it bad style.
