An "Ask Jim" section?

(1/2) > >>

Paige:
Since Jim has mentioned his lack of enthusiasm for forum/ bulletin board (whatever this is called) over the email loop and that he will likely not frequent here or post much, would it help if there was a special section where fans could ask him questions?

Most of the rest of this place seems more geared to fans yammering  :P on with other fans, (which is fun, but...)and any questions someone might have for Jim will get lost in the mayhem. He’ll never see it.  ???

Would it be feasible to have a section where you could only ask a question, no discussion or debate, that would be easy for Jim to skim through and answer, or not, at his leisure?
This way he can still connect with his readers without feeling like he’s swimming through mud.
Huh, huh? Can we?
Just askin’  ;D

Good question.  Seeing as Jim's already made a few responses since this forum's inception, though, I'm not inclined to move on this *immediately* -- but I'll keep it in mind if it ends up looking like that's something that would help Jim connect with his fans.

Okay, I'm good with that. I'll keep my figures crossed for the special section though!  ;D
It's quite a few links to locate his posts and I'm not confident I'm seeing them all.
Ooo...I thought of another pro for an "Ask Jim" section...it would serve as a kind of FAQ archive like was discussed for a while on the list.

No pressure...just sayin' ~L~  Really, I'm good with whatever works best for yens.

On a related vein, is there code that could be designed (maybe RSS would do this...I'm not a coder so I'm not sure) that would alert Jim of a thread (or a post) specifically aimed at him? Such as "If you put ATTN JIM in all caps at the begining of a post, it he'll get an email saying there's a thread asking him a question, with a link to it."

Shiggy:
The only problem I see with the "attention jim" thing is, it's quite possible it would be abused, everyone with a little question for Jim.  The 'ask jim' section on the other hand, can be easier to moderate.
