@Rarst that's what the mail list is for. :) Can't answer complex questions 140 chars at a time.

@Rarst You're gonna have a bad time getting official answers to questions if you consciously avoid official channels. It's fairly insulting.

@nacin tells something about official channels that I am willing to have bad time rather than use them, doesn't it? ;)

@Rarst No, it's just stubborn and silly. You have people willing to directly address your issue. No need to disrespect chosen venues.

@Rarst What I picture: "Yeah, that's a bug, can you file a ticket?" Then you link me to a WPSE thread. Not far off from what has happened.

@nacin @Rarst I agree with that example. But asking someone to join a mail list to ask a question when we have other forums is a bit much.

@EricMann @nacin @Rarst It's not just about the mailing lists though. The forums, even IRC sure seem like relevant alternatives.

@Rarst @EricMann @nacin So the choice is to instead pick a venue where that falls completely outside supported channels? I don't get it.
