MATLAB: Would a poster put specific contributer names in the question tag

matlab answersmeta

In posts such as this, the tags include contributors' names. Why? Is the poster trying to get those specific experts to answer their question? If so, is that bad form?

Best Answer

Yes, the poster is hoping to get the attention of those specific contributors, and Yes, it is bad form.
I normally remove those tags when I see them; I must have missed that one.
