Maybe we should replace Stack Overflow with another site where experts can exchange information? We can call it "Experts Exchange".

I agree with your idea. I will be launching a website where users can share content. It will be free once knowledge should be free and we will make money by selling data...umm selling user data...umm selling T-shirts I guess. That should be enough to keep the servers running.
