ya, i'm with you on simplicity and leaving out detailed, specific
questions for later responses. a good example was a questoin about 'have
you ever attended a codefest?' well, i can tell you off the top of my head
who *has* attended one(of the three), so maybe thats a bit specific.
just thinking out loud here, thanks for the reply joel :)
