I had the idea recently that higher level monks could mark a post 'not needing an expert'. It would be voluntary, but having a marker on a post would indicate that it's not a question that will send one of us to the Perl source code for a definitive answer.

Less experienced monks would get a chance to give an answer.

I think a great portion of the knowledge I've accumulated over the past year has come from answering questions. Why deny others the same chance? Especially since I've answered questions with "You can do that with grep, but use a hash instead" more often than I'd like. :)
