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.

Hi Bert,
I agree. If the answer is too complex, I just skip it.

Indy,
You have to admit, Maxwell Smart's shoephone led directly to the modern cellphone. Without that, we would all still be corded.

See this is why we should PM. Had I been PMing with Indy, Gene would not have gotten the jump on me like that.

My first cell phone of 20+ years ago was so big it had a carry handle and a mounting bracket in the truck.
A shoe would be smaller; my phone doesn't smell though.

Agent 99 was my favorite part of the show! Besides the Brooks/Henry humor. Should have been a PM--TMI

The patient's expectation is that you have all the answers, sometimes they just don't like the answer you have for them
