Post on Forum -- don't contact off the forum

	Post on Forum -- don't contact off the forum by Rick Wise on Apr 13, 2009 at 7:41:10 pm For the second time in as many days, a Forum member has contacted me directly rather than post on the Forum. While I am flattered that my advice is sometimes useful, this method of solving some problem is counter productive. When someone posts a problem, and others find solutions, that's a learning process for everyone, not just the poster. That simple reality is why the forum is so useful to so many people. When you talk directly to me off-forum, you remove the learning for all the others. Plus, other people may have a better solution than I do. There is still so much I don't know.

There are many solutions to almost every problem, which is part of the fun. 99.9% of the posters here chime in with great generosity and good faith. That fact makes this forum, and others in the barn, so valuable.
