And of course, asking on a forum like this one is totally different from
asking via email. In a forum, people choose whether or not to respond, and
you have a good chance of getting some varied and good information,
especially if you show that you are researching as well. In email, if you
don't respond, you appear rude. If you do, you're roped into giving some
kind of assistance.

Yes yes yes yes YES.
