• Yeah, if the question is a follow-up to a discussion in the thread, I tell them to post it to the thread and I answer it there. I won't mess up the conversation. If it's truly sensitive data (not one I've run into) I'm not sure what I'd do. I'm a little uncomfortable with private communication because it far too easily turns into free support, which ain't happening.
