This is perhaps religious, but having only ONE official SUSE webforum does nothing to help me manage 10 other webfora. That's the primary reason I dislike webfora - if you use more than one, they become cumbersome and unwieldy. Anyway, that's my personal belief, maybe others can manage fine. > Unfortunately, my good reason for an "official" forum relates to many > bad reasons.
