Real technical discussions again instead of net political BS; will wonders never cease! In response to the comment about folks being unwilling to expose ignorance to the world by posting; sure. But consider as a model to solve that problem the "USENet Oracle"; it's a mailing list (I think!) but could just as easily be a newsgroup. It has these characteristics: 1) All questions are anonymous. 2) All responses can be anonymous. Add to that moderation to keep both queries and replies on track, and you have solved one more difficulty with news as a corporate communications medium, and quite possibly additionally gotten the answers to folks who didn't even know how to phrase the question, and gotten prompt feedback to correct, enhance, extend, or align to policy the answers seen.
