I have had lots of individual questions from voters, some very similar to each other which obviously get very similar replies.
However I have also had some standard cut and pasted questions over and over and over ! Some email and some, the same, by post. I think it would be far more useful if the standard questions could be hosted somewhere online, and then each candidate could answer them once, and each candidates reply could be seen along side the others. Some of the questions/responses received are to be published on organisations website or magazines etc but a single website where a candidate can login an answer the whole lot in one go would be very useful. A sort of 'The Straight Choice' from candidates questionnaires. The worst thing about some of the questionnaires is those from organisations that you know are going to hate you for your responses - while you are equally sure that most other candidates will be doing a 'no show' rather than actually giving honest (if unpopular) responses - but I guess sticking your head above the parapet and getting (undeserved) flack is the difference between believing in democracy with an informed electorate and just being a 'politician'.
