Call me an inertial developer, but forums are an arcane place to discussion programming languages... unlike mailing lists :o) Saying that,there's an amazing depth of information on forums, for example (taken from coding horror): - A 12 year old girl who finds a forum community of rabid enthusiasts willing to help her rebuild a Fiero from scratch? Check. - The most obsessive breakdown of Lego collectible minifig kits you'll find anywhere on the Internet? Check. - Some of the most practical information on stunt kiting in the world? Check. - The only place I could find with scarily powerful squirt gun instructions and advice? Check. - The underlying research for a New Yorker article outing a potential serial marathon cheater? Check. -- Iain Buclaw *(p < e ? p++ : p) = (c & 0x0f) + '0';
