That's not my experience, but as someone mainly answering questions on the
google-app-engine tag I might be biased.

That's really weird because stack overflow doesn't seem to allow private
messaging between users.
http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/431/any-way-to-send-a-personal-message-to-another-user

And they seems to really value the fact that all communication between
users are public and scoped to a specific question.

Maybe your collaborators included their email addresses in their profile
and that got harvested from here, who knows.

But feel free to share your feedback about stack overflow and
google-app-engine tag again if you decide to revisit it in the future.
