If we get in the habit of PMing those who we expect to give us the info we need no one else gets to read the responses - and thus learn from the information.
Some of those "lurkers" who read but don't post are the ones who most need answers. And ironcially, after 6 months or maybe 2 years of lurking they become some of more active posters with their own brand of knowledge to share.
This phenomenon is commonly refered to as the Beezer Method.
