   Why would a forum be a better approach? Who would run such a forum?   
   Thankfully, no-one "runs" these newsgroups so people are free to do   
   whatever suits them rather than you.   
      
   Bloody forums are so slow, inefficient and usually full of adverts that   
   I am astounded anybody ever uses them. I hate them.
