In theory, yes.  But in practice, the difference between an "easily"
answered question and a difficult one is less clear.  SCREEN-Litarians
live in a variety of circumstances (e.g., small towns without research
facilities or outside the U.S. where simple questions about U.S. films
may be hard to answer), and their access to information varies
considerably.
 
So, let's all exercise a little tolerance...and keep that DELETE key handy
for messages that don't interest you.
