Jan 20 at 3:48 comment added wjandrea @abyss.7 You could try editing the question. That'll bump it in the list of "active" questions, if that's the feed the author is watching. Otherwise, like TheTXI said, try contacting them off-site. [BTW, I'm replying to your comment 10 years and a few months later! And for a second, by "X", I thought you meant Twitter, lol.]
Oct 30, 2013 at 12:23 comment added abyss.7 I have a use-case: the author of X has recently appeared on SO. He can answer almost any question about X, but he answers only newly-added questions since only they appear in a feed. I have a "great" unanswered question on X (about 10 vote-ups), but don't know, how to attract his attention to this question "legally". There are thousands of ancient questions about X - I don't think, he will ever try to traverse them all...

Sep 3, 2009 at 19:20 comment added TheTXI Mod Seeing as how nobody is really getting paid around here to answer stuff, it may not be the most effective/nice/correct thing to insist on anything from the people who answer questions.
Sep 3, 2009 at 19:18 comment added David Thornley You are in no position to insist on anything. You want good answers fast. You get those by asking good questions, with descriptive titles and appropriate tags. People will answer them, other people will vote answers up or down, and you'll find good answers floating to the top (most of the time, anyway). You may find that certain people normally make excellent answers to the sorts of questions you ask, but their answers will generally be high up anyway.

Sep 3, 2009 at 19:05 comment added Kevin Boyd I guess from my question it should have been clear, I am not insisting to leverage a particular user, simply put, I insist on better answers at the right time and at the right place.
