I'm not a guru - so it's not my place to say... but since I'm not a 
guru, I'd request that helping each other happen through the mailing 
list/ newsgroup so that I can continue to search for solutions when I 
have a problem.. this system maintains good publicly searchable archives!

Just my feeling..

Cheers,
Mohit.
