It is a bit - but actually I think that Answers may be the best of all
options, because of the workflow around making sure whether a question
is finally answered or not, and that users don't need to see traffic
that doesn't relate to their question.  Obviously preferences will
vary.

Your text is good and I'm going to move it to the top of the page.
