[wp-forums] Contact form on an advertisement page

[Patrick Nommensen]

The Forum Welcome suggests authors can post contact URL's / email 
addresses but only as a very last resort. 
http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#The_Bad_Stuff

In the event that a support issue cannot be solved via the forums, like 
if the developer requests access to the site and the user agrees, then 
I'd also prefer him linking to http://readyshoppingcart.com/contacts/ 
... but that's a bit hard to enforce, imo, especially since he's already 
spending time helping users.

In this case it's purely advertising fluff :-/
