This is probably a dumb question, but...are you looking for people who know the answers to ALL of the questions you get, or is it more of a pool? Because I feel that I'm very good at lots of things, including explaining why certain things are the way they are; giving mnemonics for common grammatical errors; and being somewhat knowledgeable about several regional (including historical) dialects, but I also I know that my knowledge of grammar (in some cases, even basic grammar) is very limited (my "school-book" learning of grammar was very minimal, so I have some gaps in that area). Having been a member of this community for a while (I forget how long, sorry), I'd say that I knew the answers to most, but not all, of the queries posted. Would that--someone with skills in certain areas, but not in others, who has before learned from this community's posts--be of any use to you, or are you looking more for experts in English grammar?

We're looking for people who are interested in and knowledgeable about topics of grammar. The important things for this community are that you:
1) can write clearly to convey the answer to the question,
2) are willing to research your topic so you give a complete answer to a question including an explanation, and
3) can meet deadlines.

Some of the current grammarians are stronger in punctuation (*waves hand*) or have more knowledge about Latin roots, but we all have a passion for grammar and are willing to research certain questions and share our knowledge with each other.
