I agree. I've recently seen questions that were directly related to problems
I've had and waited for answers that never arrived on the list. I believe
(without evidence) that the questions were answered privately (no one
complained, as often happens when questions aren't answered). The answers
are *at least* as important as the questions. We're not taking full
advantage of the medium if we don't communicate to everyone.
