A follow-on thought, to help address the duplicate issue:
 
I suggest that everyone who electronically submits a
roundtable question (hopefully other roundtable leaders
will follow Joe's example) also post the question to 3000-L.
That might cut down on dups on the front end.  Conversely,
if there are a few "hot" questions that many people want to
see asked, then maybe others could "second the motion"
by just referring to a previous question and toggling the
dup counter.
 
Plus letting everyone see the questions beforehand might
stimulate some technical discussion that might help refine
the issue before getting to the roundables....
