I think I've seen at least three instances, today alone, of someone posting a 
relatively normal question and getting multiple, very similar if not identical, 
pieces of advice.
 
Is this happening because of the volume of posts?  People are starting to read 
90 or more emails, and answer as they go - before they reach the end, they read 
someone else's answer to the question they just answered 25 emails back.
 
Folks - would it be a good idea to _read_ the emails to the end in each 
session, deleting the ones that we have no intention (ignorance, whatever) of 
answering?  Then, when we reach the end and haven't seen an answer - go back 
and answer it?
 
Or do multiple similar answers actually help the questioner by raising his/her 
confidence that the answer is right?

All this stuff is going into the archives, remember.

What's the view?
