All good reasons, but I do think the overall idea of working with Atwood and
Spolsky to find a way to officially integrate stackoverflow into the
MonoTouch support stack would bring benefit to both communities.  I've
primed the pump with [1,2] which basically suggests to Jeff that he should
consider providing a black/white label stackoverflow-as-a-service that
remains integrated with stackoverflow.com while exposing a read/write API
that allows integrating the a community-specific content into the given
communities primary site (e.g. stackoverflow.monotouch.net) to allow for
tighter integration with the sites theme, brand control, etc.

Something to consider, anyway. And if either Jeff or Joel were hesitant with
the overall idea for some reason, no doubt an email coming directly from you
would be helpful in overcoming whatever hesitations might stand in the way.
