You're an idiot, Bass (and this is not a flame).

"Forum"

n. [Usenet, GEnie, CI$; pl. `fora' or `forums'] Any discussion group
accessible through a dial-in BBS, a mailing list, or a newsgroup (see
the network). A forum functions much like a bulletin board; users submit
postings for all to read and discussion ensues. Contrast real-time chat
via talk mode or point-to-point personal email.

It's a "forum", dummo.

I suppose so.  It's still a "forum" though.  Messages from DIYer's
comprise a very small percentage of the posts here.

I couldn't have said it better, Bass.  I've seen you post a hell of a
lot of "drivel".  Reams of useless HTML codes, pages and pages of links
to your kludge site, and totally incorrect answers (sold any more "24
volt versions" of the Vista 128??).   What a Putz.
