Maybe you just have to ask again.  It worked this time....

No, this list is the best place to ask.  Questions usually get
answered, but not always. People are busy etc.  Feel free to ask a

They don't necessarily need to know all the answers - they can ask
here - but it would help if they know some good questions, and are
reasonably good at technical writing.
