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 queries to the appropriate echolist (those who posted to te wrong echo
would be interestingly chastised). Persons on the echo having 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.
