Subject: At what point can I pass the buck?

Personally, I was always flattered when colleagues came to ask me  
about a product: it meant that they respected my opinion and found my  
continued existence useful. That gave me a chance to develop some  
productive working relationships with these people, both because doing  
so made life at work more pleasant and because many of them could help  
me in return when I need a future favor.

Yes it is flattering to have someone think of you as the person to go
to. The two problems I have with it are (1) it's embarrassing if I don't
know the answer, and (2) if I'm constantly dealing with these questions,
I can't get my regular job done.
