The OP obviously has good intentions, because there is not much to gain for him by setting up a forum beyond a lot of work. It's also true that the tone is often rough in this forum. There are people with an attitude, that I feel they really need medical help or what. It's true some of the kids never learned to use a mailing list or a news list. A forum could help them to access. Nonetheless I also see the big disadvantages in splitting and scattering the knowlege. A forum as a mere frontend to to access this mailinglist would be much more helpfull than a parallel forum that splits the community. If you have a question, you need to turn to two different locations in future, which isn't usefull either. Al -- Caution crosser: Runnig Gentoo/Prefix on Cygwin/Vista.
