LinkedIn Etiquette

[ashwright]

This is either a nice idea or a terrible one - would love to hear someone's thoughts:
I recently read an article in which a partner was interviewed about an area of law I'm really interested in. The partner shared this article on LinkedIn, saying they are happy to take questions on the area via DM.
Whilst their target audience was probably other lawyers/clients, would it be a good/bad idea to ask a genuine follow-up question to them?
Copying in @Jaysen @Jessica Booker as I would really appreciate your wisdom & anyone else's
Thank you

I think this is perfectly fine given they have encouraged people to contact them via PM about it.
