Giridhar (New York College)> Why can't we have a website like "Ask the
Astrostatistician?" A panel could visit it on a regular basis and answer
questions. [Even once a month answers will be better].

David van Dyk (UC Irvine)> Not practical, because it is hard to understand
the problem until one spends a lot of time thinking about it, and it may
be months before one finds the time to do so and give a useful response.

Ashish Mahabal> Also, such websites often get the same questions again and
again. Even if the answers are collected together, people do not take the
trouble to read them. Besides, questions typically get asked when people
want qucik response, say in 2-3 days. So monthly updates will not serve
that purpose. The suggestion is good, but a more channeled effort will be
needed.

[??]> Perhaps one can have a FAQ and have it linked to a decision tree so
that the questioner would get directed to more and more specific regions.
