Why?? For the things I "support", I much prefer answering questions in a public forum. That way the knowledge is available to everybody, and it reduces the number of e-mailed duplicate questions. Most of the gurus I know (not that I'm attempting to placing myself in that category) feel the same way. ESR explained it well. Quoting from http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#forum You are likely to be ignored, or written off as a loser, if you: [...] * post a personal email to somebody who is neither an acquaintance of yours nor personally responsible for solving your problem [...] In general, questions to a well-selected public forum are more likely to get useful answers than equivalent questions to a private one. There are multiple reasons for this. One is simply the size of the pool of potential respondents. Another is the size of the audience; hackers would rather answer questions that educate a lot of people than questions which only serve a few. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! I'm a GENIUS!
