Is there any way to connect with people who are of similar interests without getting into soliciting problems?

Many of us have similar interests that show up in answers.

If the person is accepting email, send them one and give some idea of why you think you both are on the same page. Then, it's up to them to follow up or not.





If they don't accept e-mail, you might ask a question and explicitly refer to their answer to a similar question, and express the desire to hear more from them, and how you were sorry they don't accept e-mail.





If you do this in a subtle way, and it's not like your entire answer is posted just to try to send them an email, you should be fine.





If you follow up on only one or two people a week, by the end of a year, you'll be up to your eyeballs with like-minded people.





Oh, and you need to reset your OWN settings. Right now, you don't allow e-mail from this list. How many people might have been already trying to get in touch with you, but couldn't because you don't allow email.





It is safe, in that you don't compromise your actual email address, so I really can't see why anyone would not accept email from others.Is there any way to connect with people who are of similar interests without getting into soliciting problems?
