There seems to be a much higher percentage of users answering a question and then asking the asker to PM them. While there is a place for this (a long, complex explanation and walk through of a technical process), for them most part if the asker accepts the PM, the thread and, therefore, the learning for all other users is essentially over.
I am not sure how others feel, but I think it is best if most of the posts, comments, questions and answers are kept on the open forum. I am in quite a few user boards, and this is the only one that uses the PM to answer questions. In fact, in most, it isn't even allowed.
