So, My how-to's on installing suse ftp ver9.1 that has 95,000+ page views are just irrelevant dribble and we should just close down all the forums because a few of you don't see any virtue in them ?
Dave: We have a wiki and archives.
Those 95000 people found your page with google. They could just as well find the wiki or the archives
The fact that the a hammer is the only tool you know tends to cause you to look at every problem as if it were a nail.

How very strange..... lol. Seems I AM the one using more than one medium of communication and yet you accuse ME of only using a hammer roflmao. Seems to me your the one that is small minded making insults at me. Your the one that only views things in black and white, and assumes the mailing list is the only form of communication worthwhile. I never said mailing lists weren't worthwhile, I think all forms are good. However we can get and help new users is a good thing. You are obviously very narrow minded and have forgotten that the last 10 years has actually made the internet more than just text based email and usenet. I suppose I could re-direct www.opensuse.us to a debian site.... would that make you happier ? If I have served no purpose, then it wouldn't matter to you right ? :P I mean, I did register the domain for the next 10 years, and have made it a point to get google to rank it as high as possible. Perhaps Debian could use the boost in traffic :P

But obviously they didn't did they ? I would say forums are much more search engine friendly than a wiki or any email archives. Do a few searches, which comes up more ...... archived email lists and wiki's or forums ? (Don't bother responding, I ALREADY know the answer). Contrary to what you think, forums aren't made up of idiots and "people that don't know how to run a mail reader". I would venture to say your not on any forums because we would have banned an obnoxious prude like yourself.
