Joel,

Not all of us misunderstand where SO is going or your motivations. I've posted as much here:

http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/92683/what-experts-e...

The facts are that despite what everyone thinks/hopes, EE isn't going anywhere anytime soon. SO rules the roost for programming but EE covers more than just programming topics and is still doing pretty well and, as a user of both sites, I'm happy both exist.

Also:

"The attitude of many EE contributors"

[citation needed]

"As soon as EE introduced the concept of money they forced everybody to think of their work on EE as just that -- work."

[citation needed]

It's okay Joel. I know you feel the need to demonize EE because it worked in the beginning. Keep up the great work and see you around the web.
