Hacker News Reader

I hate when I ask 2 - 3 questions in an email, and I only get the last one answered.

To combat this, I number my questions, and it seems to be easier for the reader to remember and respond to. I also keep it under 5. like:

I have 4 questions:

(1)

(2)

...

In organizations where top-posting is the norm, this also makes it easier for the other person to identify which question they're answering.
