Please Don't
OK I admit that was 2 words but nothing in software was ever specified properly.
Here are the reasons why you should post in the forum rather than PMing a Community Expert
- You have no gaurantee that the expert you have PM'd knows anything about the subject you are asking about.
- You have no gaurantee that the expert in question hasn't just gone on holiday for 4 weeks to Hawaii resulting in a delay to the answer to your question.
- If you post the question in the forums then everyone gets to see the it. This means that there is a far higher chance that someone who already knows the answer will see the question than if you just ask 1 person.
- It's good to spread questions and knowledge. Remember if you have a question then it is likely that someone else in the world has a very similar question. By asking your question in the open forum and getting a reply there the information is available for everyone to read and learn from.
- Finally to encourage people to post some of the Community Experts (myself included) have taken to PMing back asking the originator to post the question in the forums rather than answering the question (assuming we know the answer).
