Not related to the creation of the forum - but in response to the issue of doing searches...
My own feeling is that by answering a person's question directly - rather than telling them to do a search if its something that gets asked frequently - really makes this forum different. It is one of the things that gives it a very friendly, warm feeling. People feel welcomed by this, and start to make connections with other members straight away. They are then not afraid to keep posting, keep asking questions, and keep discussing.
Of all of the forums that I have participated in - on whatever topic - this one thing sets OB apart right from the very start.
However, cumbersome it may be to answer the same question again and again, it is worth it!!
