      To deal w/ Q&A askers who ask overly long questions, anyone tried time-limited microphones, that say turn off after say one minute?

      Maybe the mike doesn’t turn on again for 30 sec, so asker doesn’t just restart mike timer to “finish” question.

      usually they just have the sound guy do it. Simpler solution.

      A clear timer on the mike could make the constraint much clearer to asker.

          ah yeah, that's true. If there was a display. But you are proposing that a fairly complex function (timer, settings, visual display) be added to the design of the microphone for a relatively rare circumstance.. dramatically simpler to just have sound guy use stopwatch on phone.

          I would say it is if you consider all the possible & common uses of a general microphone that would influence it's design... this solution would only work for entities that encounter this situation often and buy this thing. difficult to market etc

          maybe could succeed as a niche small run kickstarter
