if nobody but the OP and I ever read it...
Ah hem. On a different tack, I suspect that /u/TheNonDuality might have been referencing DM'ing someone a link to the question on the board.
For those not in the know we do actually have an alert system we use to try and connect questions with people who might be able to answer them. While there's no real harm in shooting a PM to a flair and asking if they can take a look at a question, please don't spam them. We all have lives outside of here and can't always rush around to get to questions. A friendly "hey this looks neat" is fine. A "Hey answer this." is 100% not.

Oh that kind of DM! Yes that works pretty well :) Nevermind then, heh...
Personally, I probably save dozens of questions that I don't get pinged for, but the DM ping often helps remind me to go back to something I've forgotten about.

You're probably right, I'll correct the answer to u/TheNonDuality in this regard. My bad.

I think the best way to accomplish what's being asked for here is to tag the knowledgeable user in the comments of the question they might have the chops to answer. Is this a practice that is considered kosher by the community/mod team/both?
