So I've got something of a monster of a question about the composition and formations of Saladin's army during the siege of Jerusalem. It took a good many hours to research and currently fills four pages of a text document (much of that documenting what I've already learned -- part of it is a 'I'm just a layman, what am I missing here' kind of question). For obvious reasons I'm going to try and edit it, and one option I considered was to break it down into two, three or even four smaller questions. But before I give that a try that wanted to check in about it. 

**Is it considered bad form here to post a series of questions on the same topic in succession? And if alright, what would be a good posting rate so I don't end up spamming the board?** 

(And as a follow up, so long as I'm here, how long of a question is too long?)
