Seriously? "How tall are you" and other extremely softball questions? I think the average question quality on Askolo would increase if they would display the asker's name next to the Q.
To Sahil's point on emails, short emails were something that were shocking to me as well when I first started interacting with busy people. I took it for rudeness, or dismissive. I know better now and am glad to even receive a reply in the first place, regardless of length.

Being busy isn't ever an excuse to be rude.
Feel free to ask better questions... =)
