Hi, Abe.

I think some of the Stack Exchange sites are nice, but I feel
that the EPICS community is already well served via this
Tech-Talk mailing list.  To move questions to a Stack Exchange
site would just make it so I have to check two locations instead
of one when searching for an answer to a question or when asking
a question.  That doesn't sound very good to me.

Why do you think an EPICS Stack Exchange site is needed?
