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.
Here's another one that had me frowning:
Q: How did you end up in Silicon Valley at
such a young age?
A: I flew on a plane from LA. Southwest,
I think.
Sahil wrote a blog post about the length of emails: http://sahillavingia.com/blog/dont-judge-an-email-by-its-len...
There are other questions and answers that you should check out. My favorite:
Q: Rails or Django? A: Users don't care so I don't care.

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... =)
Wow I didn't realize that Sahil was the one behind Dayta, I think I still have that on my phone from when he asked people to test it.
