Maybe this is a time (good or bad) for me to chip in with my own complaint
... to many people are posting questions and make it obvious that they
couldn't be bothered even doing some basic googling, reading and trying out
stuff BEFORE asking questions.

You haven't responded to Hassan's message: you're only thinking of
yourself,
and you're only planning on consuming, not giving. The volunteers who
provide the support on this list certainly don't want to spend lots of extra
(and
wasted time) dealing with a web forum instead of receiving messages in
email.

Yes, but I still think that forums are better, a more modern way to give

If I have time to see other people's questions, I can go to the forum and
read the postings (and answer them, if I can), it is very easy. And I also
learn reading other people's questions. I enjoy that.
But when I'm busy in other issues, I don't like when my emails gets full
of
entries.
I just think web-based is better than email-based.

I like that questions that I never though of asking can arrive in my
email
and I
can see some great "new-to-me" topics and I try to answer when I can (not
often, but I do try to help because I am so grateful when people help me
out).

But what if you just want to receive responses to your question,
instead
of
receiving all the emails that is being writen?
Or to put it another way -- what if you only want to be a taker, without
any intention of participating in a community of users and giving back
when you can?
I'm sure there's a name for that.
Mail lists are an old method. Web based forums are more efficient. And
even
forums (such are the ones powered by phpBB) are not the latest
solution.
What *is* the "latest solution*, then, in your opinion?
