Not really. Those guys at MathOverflow are ruthless. Try posting a question and see what happens.

  In my experience it's fantastic and you get good answers very quickly. I got an answer from precisely the mathematician I was planning on emailing! It's not meant for homework type questions, though, and they do shut those down right away.

    What was your question? Post a link.

  Sorry if we're still appearing hostile. We have a very focused target audience -- people doing mathematical research -- and in order to serve that community best we turn away questions at inappropriate levels (i.e. what should be 'standard material' of a mathematics undergraduate education at a good university). We try to do that politely, and offer suggestions of other places to try, but I know we don't always succeed.
