Are people afraid that they will track down aspirants via caller ID and then blackball them for asking a question?
I'm just trying to understand the perception that exists.
Full disclosure: I contacted the District Director when I was an aspirant and he never got back to me. After I got in contact with members of the chapter I wanted to pursue, everything turned out okay.
ETA: The District Directors are elected, volunteer positions. I never found it necessary to contact paid staff working at headquarters.

I would say that some people people that if they ask a question from the National HQ side, then they will get a generic answer like they find on websites. They may be expecting us (as in those online in forums, etc) to give them the 'inside scoop.' Little do they know that most of us are giving them the same answers (at least we should be).
Just my opinion.
