This is an annoying way to ask a question, but it makes sense for answering one. ("Hey dkarl, can you reach out to so-and-so; he needs some help with the plagtron events tables.") If you're there right now, we can chat for a few seconds so I can clarify your question and give you exactly the information you need. If you're not there, I'm going to spend twenty minutes writing something comprehensive, especially if we're in different time zones and your day tomorrow will start six hours before mine. Sometimes it's good to default to a comprehensive write-up if it will be useful for a long time to multiple people, but it can be a bit wasteful if you write up a thorough description of a relational schema and it turns out they just wanted to know why there was a particular index on a particular table.
