Occaisonally, but you'd do better hitting this list in general.  I'm on a
new job and I'm giving it a LOT of hours; you might wait a week for me to
find time to generate an answer.  It depends on your questions, too.  If
you demonstrate by your question's topic and focus that you've made a
*hard* effort to answer it on yourself, *loads* of folks will help.  If it
looks like just another person looking for a free ride (and there's so
many of those that we get a bit defensive) then you wouldn't expect too
much.
