Hi Matt
I've been looking into this Forum Type too - I found this in the Moodle docs:
Q and A Forum - Instead of initiating discussions Teachers
(only) pose a question in the initial post of a discussion. Students
may reply with an answer, but they will not see the replies of other
Students to the question in that discussion until they have themselves
replied to the same discussion.

Looks like the students don't get a chance to ask a question, I like this forum type, the students see other's posts only AFTER posting their own thoughts...
