These are sensational questions--and I'm not sure why I'm surprised. After all, who would subscribe to this publication except the kind of person who'd ask these questions? But I confess that after hitting "send," I worried, "What if I throw a party and no one shows up?" I feared no one would ask anything. So waking up and seeing all these really good, serious questions is very gratifying--for the whole team. CG seems to have exactly the right readers. You're really out there, and you're genuinely interested in exactly the kinds of questions that interest us. This will keep us going for months.

Let me add a few questions that subscribers sent by email, presumably for anonymity:

"How does what y’all are doing differ from the mission of The Economist magazine?" (An excellent question because this weekend, we're working on our business plan, and that's part of what we're asking ourselves. Thank you, anonymous subscriber! We're on the job.)
