Hmm - yes, it is a concern from a general perspective. In the concrete
instance of the moment and of course IMO this new site will not do so.

A couple of factors, but none larger then the fact that the user base is
growing at a steady pace and the number of people available to 'work'
these sites will also grow. 

Another factor, there is sufficient differentiation between existing BBS
forums, mailing lists and this Q+A site, with regard to how the service
offers services, that questioners and responders alike will likely self
select which service type they are most comfortable with. 

Best wishes,
