Can't help feeling that this domain is just there to glean traffic from stackoverflow.com. I would have said such attempts were likely to be a bit self-defeating with the high-tech community the way it is.

StackOverflow.com was ``created in 2008 by Jeff Atwood and Joel Spolsky'',[1] so I think it's probably just a coincidence.[2]

Besides, what possible benefit does Brian, author of the .ORG, get from gleaning traffic from .COM? He has no ads, isn't trying to sell anything, and isn't offering a competing service...

[2]: Or a trip in a time machine being totally squandered.

You are quite correct. I apologize for my brash assumption.
