Or you could just sent him an email......... YIKES!!!

Yes... But he opened the door here by creating the post. What I have learned is that you typically don't want to try to take the potential client out of the element that they are most comfortable in...

For instance, I wouldn't make a facebook post then tell the people responding to the post not to respond.

I would actually want the responses on the facebook post so that the post gets higher ranking due to the engagement that the algorithm see is occurring on the post.. Which then show more people the post...

Sort of kinda the same way it works here... Take a look at how many views this thread has received due to the engagement that this thread has had...

At the end of the day, me replying to this thread has helped Dave receive higher visibility...

When dave takes the time and communicate with me via this thread, and answer all my questions, it raises his profile. People will begin to see Dave as a Subject Matter Expert as it relates to web hosting, due to how he was able to assist me.. Which is a good thing.
