Personally, I don't care too much about these. List members seem remarkably willing to answer these questions, and sometimes it is more efficient to ask someone who knows the answer instantly than to spend many hours seeking something out. And often interesting debate results from such questions. So long as no-one feelsobliged to spend any time on these questions, I don't mind these emails. But that's only my personal view.
