No, seriously, this is one of those things I see people griping about in locked posts, that the whole "not being able to see what the playing field looks like" makes it hard to sign up because you have no idea if what you write is in any way going to work with what anyone else will, you know? And since it's not like the recipients are secret, it doesn't give anything away. And it also means questions can't be asked anonymously, and you can't append to your own request and in general it's more work for the mods. So...is there a compelling reason *to* screen?
