ScarletRose: Agreed. Therefore I think one shouldn't wait for a person to have answered his/her questions before fielding questions for the next. Why not nominate a candidate four or six times a year (so, once every three or two months), collect questions for a month, and then let the candidate answer them; if it takes the candidate half a year to answer, it wouldn't impact another interview. (And, IMO, if a candidate hasn't answered even a single question a month after all the questions have been collected, just remove the entire interview).
pauloaguia: Considering that my opponents still move, and my tournaments still start, I'd say the place isn't deserted. Besides, aren't interviews typically open for two months or so? Two months from now, it's October.
