The Questions

I'm entertaining a few questions from some of our colleagues in Germany for a cool j-outfit called ReporterForum. Rather than answer these myself, I'd love to open them up to everybody. If you have a minute, and have a thought on one or all of these, answer in the comments. It'll be fun.

Thanks.
