Adobe has active user-to-user forums where skilled and friendly help is available for most Adobe products. See http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/ Adobe also has a Knowledge Base and links to many helpful resources at http://www.adobe.com/support/ In addition, there are numerous forums and e-mail lists not affiliated with Adobe that cover Adobe products. See, for example, http://www.desktoppublishingforum.com , where several InDesign experts hang out. The same is true for many high-end commercial products if someone is willing to search a bit. This is not to take anything away from Scribus and this excellent e-mail list and we certainly do have access "to the top," namely, our developers. But the same type of user-to-user support is available for many products, both commercial and open source--even Microsoft products. The user support board for VectorLinux, my distro, is a gem. --Judy Miner Registered Linux User #397786
