I strongly agree with what Ala's said. The whole concept of the community is sharing knowledge and answering each others questions, and suggestions. It's sometimes unpleasant for the lecturer that things go out of hand, but think of it in a different way. People are very interested in this topic that they want to know more. And most of the questions (especially the advanced ones) were asked after the presentation was finished.
