I agree entirely! I have seen several questions whose answers I would have
been interested to read, but which I was destined never to see. Such a
devastating loss of knowledge! I never have any trouble deleting mail that I
am not interested in - it's a very quick and simple process.

Being able to read responses to a question will promote further discussion
on the issue, and this can only lead to a more enlightened understanding of
Rietveld for all involved.
