I don't agree with this idea. I am afraid this would lead to some
"shrinkage" in the answers department and answers are what I am looking
for in the first place. Even as it is, questions seem to outnumber
answers. I would rather that you _discourage_ responses directly to the
person asking the questions because then the answers are being lost to
the rest of us. Reading the half dozen or so daily messages has been no
burden whatsoever. Whatever you decide, thanks for providing the service.
