Hi panda,
I have thought on this since I read it this morning and I agree that dog-piling is probably a little intimidating, it was for me when I said some wrong stuff.
I often see people who will repeat what others have just got done saying/asking. I have done it more than once, often because I was failing to look at previous post, other times because I felt I could state a question better.
Maybe when The same basic question is repeated by a number of people moderation could request that that people refrain from doing it, I think it is a rule. Also letting the person who faces the dog-pile know that he can choose to respond to the question in a group reply, not everyone needs to have their version of the same question answered individually.
When the dog-pile consists of different valid questions I guess the person in question will just have to suck it up and choose where to start.
