Requests for lyrics is a very popular feature on the forum. Since I help out occasionally with this, I hope my thoughts here are taken into account by those who ask for lyrics:
I suppose, Lakshman's tireless service and promptness encourages rasikAs to ask for more. However, the volume he deals with is to be taken into consideration. One song at a time seems a better bet for the following reasons: not being labelled, a song gets buried, and because of this, repeat requests occur.
Which brings us to naming the thread: lyrics for such and such a song (by so and so and the rAgA, if known). The word 'reques't is not necessary if you just start the thread with 'lyrics for'. The request then can be made with 'please' and 'thank you' (in place of a curt laundry list!)
A few new members request songs without a 'please' and do not say 'thank you' after much time is spent on posting the songs. rshankar, rigapada and others work on the translations, however busy they are with their work.
Many rasikAs are courteous in their asking for lyrics. examples: rasikapriya, Prashant--and they are serious about learning the songs.
My request is, please make the heading clear so that other rasikAs who seek the song can access them too. Ask for one at a time for the same reason, and please remember to thank the contributers. After all, even when you take your dry cleaning to the laundry, you thank the
desk clerk for the business transaction!
Thank you for paying attention to my thoughts...

Thanks arasi.
I don't mind posting multiple lyrics but would prefer rasikas to request one song per thread. As you say it makes it easier for others when doing a search for the song. My motto is that music is for sharing without any expectations. Some people thank me and others don't. But as long as they indicate that they have seen the posting it is sufficient for me
At the moment I am away from home and will respond to lyrics requests as soon as I get home in a couple of days.

Thank you aaren.
Lakshman,
I know that you do what you do for the love of it with the zeal you have for sharing. I know that rshankar is happy to help just as much and other translators do too.
Somehow, it seems more gracious if nice words are used in asking!
