5.9 Should I post the email address of an expert I found? (sci.chem)

Not without their consent. Email the expert and ask if you can identify them
in sci.chem. In general, people who email information to you will want
complete control over their exposure on Usenet. Often they do not want a
lot of email requesting assistance, and in some countries ( such as New
Zealand ) people have to pay for both incoming and outgoing email. If the
email address is posted publicly - as in this FAQ, email the person and ask
if you can repost their address in a different forum.

When sending unsolicited email, remember that you are accosting a stranger,
and he/she is not required to respond, although most will respond to polite
requests.
