Would there be any value in having a Yahoo! Answers for grownups?

In general I love having an unedited internet as much as possible, but after a few months on Answers I realize I am spending all my time here stepping over the bubble gum... "do i look cute in this?" "does this mean he likes me?" "how dew i spel this werd?" etc. All of that is great, I dont begrudge the kiddos their space, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like if there were a website where serious and thoughtful people could speak and reply as adults. It wouldnt just be about age of course, more about quality of content. Spam and rants would not be welcome and one word replies wont pass. We would have to get around the endless politics and religion arguments somehow, just like in any conversation. Am I just dreaming here, or is there a place online for real thought and speech? Could it be done?
