<p><strong>Question</strong> </p>

<p>If I write a question that has two distinct parts, when should I separate it into distinct questions?</p>

<p>This is a grey area, but one that could use some clarification. When there are truly distinct but related questions, keeping them together might have the advantage of letting readers ponder the set of questions at the same time; on the other hand it would have the disadvantage of requiring both answers in the same post.</p>

<p><strong>Example</strong></p>

<p><a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/q/2917/1381">Here</a> is a question that I asked with multiple sub questions about distinct transformations.</p>
