I meant useful for getting answers to new questions.
Meaning, if you're having a problem with something, and you googled it but didn't find answers ... I don't think you'll get useful results by posting the question to SO.
But of course it's still tremendously useful for the archive of questions and answers that it hosts.

I just joined recently and that is exactly how I've used SO and in every instane I've gotten an answer to my question - and fast. Very fast.
