We are in the age of communications. Rapid, low cost communications, like
this forum, that allow us to contact hundreds and get a return response in
less than an hour. Twenty years ago it would have taken months and most
people would not respond due to the cost, time factors.

Yes, I believe if I were ever one of these experts, I would keep it quiet,
least I be over come with messages for this and that. I would soon, no longer
be able to keep up my studies and could quickly lose my expert status.

I don't think we do any of these folks a favor by giving out their names
without their permission and/or consent.

Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
