Was it, "how many questions have been asked"?
Someone was asking for clarification on the rules of the County Championships. I answered by providing the relevant clarification, and providing him the Controller's e-mail address for future reference.

194 questions (or were many more like my two "Tell the Directors"), and not one that was worth publishing on the ECF website?
I can't speak for other people's questions, but I wouldn't describe the ones I've had as being of massive wider interest. They're often very specific in nature. I've never been asked the same question twice - other than one person who asked me where the 2017 British Championships would be.
I tend to hear from lots of people who I wouldn't normally hear from either on here, or the old other Forum, or get regular e-mails from. Sometimes people just want to ask the person in charge a question and get an answer, without others sparking off a debate that would be common on a Forum. So I do think it serves a purpose in that sense.
Yes, as per David Sedgwick's suggestion, they can send an e-mail. However, David has an excellent knowledge of the inner workings of the ECF Director's responsibilities and is on first name terms with all of them. He is rare in that sense when you consider the membership as a whole, and if he wants to e-mail, then of course he could and should.
