What if the 12% were answering questions - not asking o.O. Hell, I'd rather a person go through the effort/thought process of asking a _good_ question to get closer to the answer they might be looking for.
I imagine majority of the SO visitors are neither asking nor answering questions, but only looking up answers for questions somebody else posted.
I can, however, come up with scenarious where company would choose either cohort for layoffs (so you are helping engineers from other companies on company dime?).
Still, I was completely tongue in cheek regarding causation and mostly noting that it is unlikely to be any correlation there.
