I see no reason it wouldn't be possible to request assistance. My work has value for the entire community, so it's only sensible that others would be willing to contribute as well.
I doubt others know the extent of my work. At times it is best to stay quiet. However, I have given aid and contributed to the community even while disadvantaged. What I can manage with proper funding... It could certainly save many of the people here.
That would be a matter of other people's opinions. I'm a researcher, and how well-known or unknown I am makes little difference to the importance of my work.

--Wait. So what you're really saying is that asking like this isn't actually common here, you just feel like it's something you should be able to do. Do I have it right this time?
The simplest way is physical contact. However, that would usually interrupt my work. It's more more efficient if someone simply touches me while I get my work done.
[So, yes, his time is valuable and perhaps he doesn't think other people are doing things of as much importance with their time.]
It doesn't matter to me whether it is common. I am able to make the request, and it would be beneficial for both parties involved, so I see no reason for complaint.
I'm not native, nor am I from the same country as others here, though I am from the same world as several. It's unlikely I would appropriately represent the norm of any group here.
[After a pause for thought.]
I suppose I wouldn't represent the norm for my own country, either.
That's kinda the impression I was getting.... But it's fine. You don't have to explain anything else. I'm the one who responded to your request with unrelated questions.
[ Give her a second to just. hold her head in her hands. Why won't he stop. What has she done. Is this her punishment for asking rude questions uninvited. ]
No... not particularly, I guess. Rather, just knowing how would be nice.
