Neat idea. I tried it.

Long drawnout payment maze, used paypal, double-billed and my transaction history shows 3 entries - don't have any idea what any of them mean. No big deal, its just $2 but weird.

Some one-click payment approach would be nice.

How do I get a response? Email? Poll the site? No clue anywhere in the process that I noticed anyway.

Good luck!

Hi Joe,

Thanks for trying it out.

Please click on the "Check status" page which shows your current questions. Click on the view details link - which show a status of either :

(1)Waiting for a respondent (i.e. no one has reserved your question yet. (2)In - Progress (i.e. Someone is working on the answer. But it has not been submitted yet). (3)Completed. [ You will be able to view the response, and rate (1-5) the respondent]

Hope that helps. I just found out that the system does not send out emails when answers are complete. I will have to get that fixed today. In the mean time, please log in occasionally to check status.

Thanks. Paul

Got a sterling answer by the way. Far more detailed and thoughtful than $2 justified. Some philanthropy involved in the responders makeup I suspect.
