I asked a question on there about Apache Poi. Then no one answered it so I found a solution and answered it myself. Must've stayed relevant because I fielded a few questions about it for years.

Then they took my account away, I think maybe because I didn't confirm my identity after a big breach? Then I looked for my Q/A and it was attributed to someone else. I was hot about it for a minute and then realized I didn't care and was finally free from being the expert in that one niche thing I've never done since.
