Selfishly, if we free up Ross from repeat answers he'll have more time for more questions... :-)
My suggestion was a fourth sub-forum (TT, Practical, Checkpoint Debate, Ross) that would only be questions for Ross. Each question could be a thread. Repeat questions could be merged into the original and questions in the other sub-forums that have already been answered could be redirected to the Ross sub-forum. Those of us who have been around the WTMD a few times could help the newbies. That way, the three current forums could serve as discussion forum and the Ross sub-forum would be Q&A as well as a handy reference guide.

I am aware that this idea puts a lot of stress on the mods and Ross, but if it worked, it would be a fantastic source to get official answers quickly. And once people learned the system, I believe it would actually create less work for these two groups.
