I believe that is because they have a rating system and people get in the habit of posting things that get them points.  I posted in the VHDL group including a section of my "program".  The first reply was someone telling me VHDL code isn't a "program".  lol 

But I did get useful input from a very knowledgeable poster and resolved my issue as best as possible.  He has replied to nearly every VHDL post I've made and helped me identify several bugs in the Aldec simulator.  So Stack Exchange can be a very useful source.  

It's also important to note it is not a place for "discussion" as such.  Posts are supposed to be a question and responses are either comments or answers.  The comments are restricted in length and formatting.  Many posts here would need to be split into multiple comments or made an "answer".   Pretty much anything is better than Google Groups since they killed off classic.
