<cue wispy geezer voice>
Thus was born the ancient and wise but now rarely practiced <music>Convention of the SUM </music>.
Post a question to the multitude, “How to catch enough fish when I only have one hook?”
Individuals respond directly to the questee

Posts back to the multitude “SUM: How to catch enough fish when I only have one hook?”
(Wrong tool for the job. Don’t use a hook, weave a net.)
The multitude remembers those who give back.
