Not too knowledgeable though, in my experience if you are the knowledgeable colleague in a domain, SO will not help you unless you're in one of the domains with a legendary SO contributor (e.g. C# because of Jon Skeet if you manage to get their attention), and unlike a knowledgeable colleague it won't assist you in looking for a clarification or solution either.
