An alternative viewpoint:
Some yaBe sellers post all questions on the auction page. I don't
always want the world to know that I'm asking the question, so I quit
signing my name.
After reading a list of questions, my own question is likely to be
rather terse even if it is directed to a different seller. A good
portion of internet communication is more spontaneous than
conventional writing ... especially for those who can not touch type.
As Ali mentioned there will always be a few trying to manipulate your actions.
Depending on the time you want to invest (throw away), a reply to a
terse question _might_ have a much different response than expected
from the original question.
