Doesn't it break the concept of a maillist? this is: public questions and=20
public responses so everyone can read them or search for them later and=20
learn.

Is't easier to tell people not to ask a thread if there are already a corre=
ct=20
response?
IMHO, this is a typicall issue of any maillist, but the solution is not=20
allowing individual questions, but showing how to do the questions, showing=
=20
where and how to search before ask an already answered question and showing=
=20
maillist rules.
In any maillist there are always expert level people, intermediate level=20
people and newbies. Maybe intermediate level people should reply to easy=20
questions and expert level people just to intermediate or high level=20
questions. The issue is that usually a expert spents time answering an easy=
=20
question that any other guy with no so much level could answer perfectly.
Just my opinion. Best regards.
