It is not a "problem".  If you want FREE support, the mailing list
exists.  Posting your questions to a Forum will likely not do any good,
as I - who don't have a problem - and not going to take the time to go
read whatever is on some forum.  You WANT the messages to come to my
INBOX.

And you can search the mail archives using any Internet search engine;
you have to do nothing else.

But what you want is techie support, right?
