I agree with you that it takes time and effort to reply to someone's question, and we all appreciate that. It is true people like to know who they talk to, and a Yahoo or other non-specific email account may last much longer than a company email address in there days. Did you overlook something when making a conclusion just based on one abused post? My point is that it shouldn't matter whether someone use their company email as an identity or another non-specific email accounts as long as he/she raise an appropriate question to this list, a lots of professionals are willing to share their thoughts and help others and you are one of them as well.
