Thank you very much for thinking loud.
But maybe this is the reason, why developers need marketing people - to 
speak for them (just another thought.)

To solve your problem:
Please post your dev-questions on one of the developer-lists.
And, additionally, if you should think, that anybody of the marketing list 
could help you (maybe to find a developer, why answers questions :) , we 
are glad to hear your question.

Bye and keep thinking loud,
