Correct me if I'm wrong but are you telling us that we cannot ask single
questions on this mailing list?  Are  you encouraging members of this list
to use private Email instead of using the list?  If someone did combine all
his questions in one message (say "20 questions") would that be acceptable,
giving the length that message would be or would that be prohibited too?  Do
you expect the answer to any given question to be so detailed and accurate
and expansive and complete that no further questions on that topic will be
necessary? How are we to know beforehand when asking a question just what
the form and length  the answer will be? If we only get what we feel is a
partial answer to our question are we prohibited to ask a second question on
that topic? If we ask specific questions to a person after the initial list
question and do it only through private Email are we not denying the rest of
the group what could be valuable information?
