(Please avoid replying with tags or simple replies that only remove the m from the list, but maybe don't help the original poster)
Great question!
I'd rather see someone PM another member with a link and ask them to respond. That way, if the person doesn't have a chance to answer, then the "unanswered" thread isn't left with the only reply being a tag... which wouldn't be the best outcome or a great 1st impression from...
