I have to disagree with you here. One of the nicest things about a public forum is that people who don't even ever post get questioned answered just by reading becasue someone else took the time to ask the question already. So when something doesn't seem quite right with a design, or a question comes to mind, it makes much more sense to me write about it publically. Then everyone can come up with ideas to fix the problem or make the design better, and all the lurkers are enlightened as well. If we wanted to PM people all the time, then there wouldn't be much use of the rest of the forums.
As for your other comments about being tactful when critiquing, as you may all know by now I suck at tact. So, is it better for me to simply say nothing when I think something could be improved because I might offend someone, or is it better for me to go ahead and speak my mind, and hopefully somebody will learn or some robot will get better because of it?
