Rather than placing a broad, unspecified burden on a broad, unspecified 
group of people, you should consider your own obligation to provide 
specific questions, about specific issues, for specific people.

That way, there is a chance of getting meaningful dialogue, rather than 
simply creating yet another opportunity for making broad, unspecified attacks.

The philosophy that has a participant feeling comfortable constantly 
assigning work to others -- especially when the assignment itself is not 
well specified -- and then complaining when it is not performed to their 
satisfaction has the inherent flaw that it views those others as a free, 
infinite resource.

Do some of the work yourself, Michael.
