A lot of the time there are probably questions she literally cannot answer though she seems a little higher above the NDA chain.
My only use of mentioning her is just to get her aware of things. How will that drive her away?
The common theme I am seeing lately is that anytime anyone has a bug or a problem, they tag Girasol and I feel that the frequency has escalated to be too high. There are too many minor issues being tagged with her name. Widespread glitch? Yeah, tag her. Misspelled event name? No, just bring it up but don't force her to get a notice. (I am not saying you personally have done this, so don't take it as a personal indictment.) I just think there are more than a few people who have started to post things because they think it will be seen here. This may be good or bad, but I don;t want to see SP.net become a dupe of the craziness that goes on in other forums where every possible question is tagged with a "GM answer please" phrase (MS official forum.. Diablo 3 forum... WoW forum..) and then folks get mad when they don't get an answer.
I just feel that a GM perusing the board will come across the important stuff naturally because it will take up valuable forum real estate. Then that person can do good things with the information if possible. That's why I like Girasol and her involvement. She knows her boundaries and is eager to offer insight the right way. I would hate to see that spirit annoyed into silence. I am older fellow who believes in a hefty amount of respect for folks in the know. Trust is thus built.
