Is this not a forum? A "forum" (ok, so I'm going back to the BBS
"Echolist" days) is where people with questions would post these

experience with the problem posed could (would) respond. For the most
part, I "lurk" as the Q&A can sometimes be, um, interesting...
Hi Jim,
Remember those days well, Fidonet. Mailing list are like the old
echolist from BBS days. A forum is an online messaging system. The
messages are stored in a database so that they can be searched and
retrieved quickly. An example is the "Official" OOo forum at [1] and the
"unofficial" OOo forum at [2]. To post a question or answer you have to
register with the forum. Anyone can read and search the database for
prior problems, the suggested way of doing things, without registering.
