Week 8 Answer Boards

At the risk of being a bit of a bah humbug sort, I consider the “slamming the boards” service open to abuse and frivolous use thereby making it rather useless for any serious purpose. A service relying on volunteers would be hard pressed to function I think given the burden of most librarian's work loads. However answer board sites could be ideal if they were kept free of frivolous questions and the questions could be answered within a given time frame.
