Absolutely. People are here on this list on a voluntary basis and they
read it when they have time (I tend to lag a lot) and when they want.
There's no promise of any quick feedback eventhough it usually works
pretty well. So any request like above are totally inappropriate and
will probably not be considered as well as you'd have hoped.

However if don't know whom to ask for some professional support, it's
totally adequate to ask this here, and some people will be willing to
do it and even to help you fix your issue. That's the difference between
"We're in trouble, do you know who could help us" and "We're in trouble,
please help us".
