[kwlug-disc] (Proposed) New kwlug meeting section: Q & A

[R. Brent Clements]

I don't think that most of us could even start an answer in 30
seconds.  And too many people would be too shy for that kind of
tomfoolery.

The biggest concern I have with this kind of interaction is that, to
put it bluntly, we are not the best people to answer simple questions
for people who can only handle the simple answers.  We just aren't.
