I occasionally find myself wanting to directly contact someone with expert understanding of something - some software, some topic - to ask a few specific questions and have a brief discussion about an idea, a workflow, etc. Naturally, I'd be happy to pay for such a service.

Stack Overflow is all well and good, but I am looking to have a longer discussion / more precise and detailed feedback about something specific that I'm working on. Most recently I've wanted to talk to an expert in Adobe InDesign to check that some process I have set up is the right way to go about things. In the past I've wanted to get advice and feedback on the overall architecture of a small project's code base.

I haven't been able to find a generic "contact an expert" website or serve out there. Has anyone else?
