Word for someone who wants to find a single word to describe a relatively obscure concept, and posts such questions on internet boards?

Question

As the title suggests, I'm looking for a word for someone who wants to find a single word to describe a relatively obscure concept, and posts such questions on internet boards. If I'm informed of such a word (or even a short phrase to the same effect), I'll be able to communicate more clearly, concisely, and precisely in the internet fora that I frequent.

This has a distinct feel of being off-topic to it… and yet I can't help but upvote! — Janus Bahs Jacquet, Jul 13 '14 at 09:28
@jwpat7 Thanks for the edit. It's actually a lot funnier now. :D — Paul, Jul 15 '14 at 07:38

I think the term you are after is Stack-barker. Or possibly Stack-breaker.
