For the Record…

Just in case “anyone was confused”:http://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2005/10/ask_a_philosoph.html, the following two sites are distinct.

“Ask a Philosopher”:http://go.to/ask-a-philosopher is a service run out of Sheffield that has been in operation for years. Its purpose is to solicit questions from the public of a broadly philosophical nature and have professional philosophers answer them.

“Ask Philosophers”:http://www.amherst.edu/askphilosophers/ is a service run out of Amherst that has been in operation for weeks. Its purpose is to solicit questions from the public of a broadly philosophical nature and have professional philosophers answer them.

I was told by a former graduate student at a leading philosophy program that there is some professional tension between the sites. There certainly is a notable lack of linkage between the two sites, despite their apparently complementary aims. Anyway, feel free to peruse, or contribute to, either site.
