Very Good Point!! I often wait for an answer to something and then never see it because of the strict rules. Usually if it is really important to me, I will email the person with the question, begging for them to forward me the answers they receive. But if they are as busy as I am, sometimes I never hear from them. It would be so much easier if we could all see the answers and then make the decision as to whether we want to read it or not.
