To 'Go public' or P.M.?

[Guest]

I think if it's the case that there has been a reticence to "go public" by someone for reasons explained by Colin, then hopefully, if they, or that person, reads responses here, they will feel more comfortable about asking in general. Having said that, although I think "public" benefits more people and makes the forum more active and interesting, I still have no issue with PMs. Unless of course, it was all PMs and no public Wouldn't be a very interesting forum then would it?
