Foman is top on my list of people to PM for help. If I send him a PM with legitimate meaning (one that's not random or pointless), he usually PMs me back with a helpful response.
Duardo is too much of the go-to guy for me to bother PMing him; I feel that I wouldn't get one back quick enough. The only time he's ever PMed me back / noticed I PMed him was a week after I sent the message. :P
Qbix will answer anything. He'll do anything, too.

I admit I feel that some mods only care because they have to. Then there are mods whom I feel care too much *cough* fomon *cough*. That said, there are plenty of mods one could ask. Duardo, TU, yoozel, bobcast, I don't feel it's the mods fault. More a general feeling by members that mods are "superior" and above their perceived ramblings. I've had this happen when new members refused to ask me about the flood library, choosing to instead discreetly ask me in PM or private groups for fear they would insult or annoy my apparently "superior" forum status.
All in all, you can really only supply knowledge as you are asked and hope that those seeking info get it.
