I have indeed received personal emails regarding some of my threads. Its fine, but if I understand Tim correctly, his point is that others may benefit from the response, and he is right. However, until I read Paul's post, I didn't think about the time factor involved in moderator approval. In that case, an email response would definately be more timely. With respect to Ezmeralda11's post, I would hope that the moderator's have helped to quell that fear. I've got a pretty thick skin, but please let all of us know, one way or the other; is the fear of public disapproval still preventing many from posting? Of course, here we do have the best of both worlds; you can post in public or email in private.
Closet audiophiles
Well there are a good number of regular posters out there who, help everyone regularly. There are many more who have incredible systems but don't post, for what ever reason. On more then one occasionI have received private emails answering questions I have asked about high end gear, from members, whom never post. I understand not everyone has the time or desire to “hang out” in the forum section. But it strikes me as odd that they would take the time and send a private email helping me out on something I have posted in the forum section, I bring this up simply because I feel others could be helped if everyone was able to see what these people sent to me. Have any others out there experienced this, and if any of you “closet audiophiles” are out there come on in, share with everyone.
Regards,
Tim
