I would kinda hope that phrasing stuff as a question wouldn't affect the viability of a lawsuit one way or the other. Otherwise I'd expect people to leak trade secrets as a series of questions, leak top secret info as a series of questions, etc. I kinda hope it's the underlying substance, not how you phrase it, that determines this sort of thing :)
