In my experience, the 'older' crowd prefers newsgroups, but 'younger'
people prefer message boards. Similar to how more advanced users
prefer CLI, but inexperienced/novices use GUI. It seems to me we're
trying to help the gui type of person, and a message board would be an
easier way to do this, IMHO.
