More on mobile: What would you like to see?
My post last week on issues accessing The Washington Post from mobile phones sparked a lot of good conversation. For the most part, you folks are in favor of The Post auto-detecting when you’re on a mobile phone and serving you a mobile view of the content you want to see.
But it wasn’t all roses. Some of you worried that we’d wall you into a “child’s garden” of a mobile site with no hope of returning. The letter below caught my eye:

Q&A;: Is The Post ignoring the Fast and Furious gun operation?
Have questions for Post editors? Continue to leave your questions here or tweet them using the hash tag #askthepost.
Today’s question comes from several readers, who have written us wondering why The Post isn’t covering Fast and Furious, the controversial gun operation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
“Why is the Washington Post not investigating, posting and reporting daily on the biggest, most stunningly scandalous story of the last forty years, the Fast and Furious matter? Unbelievable and inexcusable!” — Meadowlark1234
A recent reader e-mail voiced similar concerns:
“I can not understand why you do not have one of your best reporters investigating Fast and Furious. This is such an important story and it is not going away. I would hope someone with the integrity of the Post would uncover the Truth for the sake of our citizens and those of Mexico.”

Q&A;: What’s the matter with The Post’s e-mail newsletter system?
Here’s a question we received this week from a user regarding e-mail newsletter delivery.
You can browse all our Q&A posts (and submit your own) by clicking here or by using the hash tag #askthepost on Twitter.
Q. What’s the matter with e-mail newsletters?
Over the past year, delivery of your “Today’s Headlines” e-mail newsletter has been spotty to say the least. I subscribe, resubscribe, complain, etc. and I get it for a day or two or six, and then it does not appear. I check the spam box—nada. What is the doggone matter?
The other thing that happens is that when it does come, it is often late--later than the other two newsletters that seem to show up with regularity.

Q&A;: Wall Street protests: Is The Post covering them?
In recent weeks, many questions have come in from readers. A number of readers have asked about the recent Wall Street protests and why The Post hasn’t devoted more coverage to them.
“Why such weak coverage of the Wall Street protests?,” asked commenter Mini2.
Twitter users echoed Mini2’s sentiments. Last week, one reader wrote, “Why are you ignoring the #occupywallstreet protest?
It’s also on the radar of our ombudsman, Patrick B. Pexton, who wrote on his blog that the protests were among the top three topics on readers’ minds last week.
We asked Greg Schneider, National Economy and Business editor, about how The Post has covered the Wall Street protests and he told us:

Anwar al-Aulaqi becomes al-Awlaki at The Washington Post
On Friday, Washington Post readers learned about old wounds reopened at a Falls Church mosque after a U.S. airstrike killed the al-Qaeda operative “Anwar al-Aulaqi.” The operative had once been the imam at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque on Sept. 11, 2001, before he publicly embraced the anti-American extremism that made him a target of U.S. drones.
