Ed is extremely busy from time to time, so you may need to give the mail a bump if he doesn’t reply. Perhaps two bumps.

Slightly conflicting answers. Do SDSAB-wannabe’s get to see the question list after [del]enough badgering[/del] politely emailing Ed & answer them or only gen-ewe-wine SDSAB members, who have also, I presume [del]survived[/del] partaken in the SDSAB initiation ceremony.
