If someone posts a question that you would like to hear the answers to, send the poster email asking for a summary. If the poster gets enough of these he should see that there is justification to post a summary to the net. You shouldn't feel that it is an imposition to ask someont for a summary, since they got their answers by the grace of others willing to take the time to respond.
