Join a great community of yours peers in solving issues and learning new tips and tricks, as well as make some great friends and sometimes watch the humor and egos (TT) at play <g>. The dynamics of discussion forums is usually about someone having a problem motivating them to post so looking at a forum does not give a complete picture of any product as most that are not having problems or questions don't post in the forums unless they are willing to help others.
You can use your web browser or a newsreader (NNTP) to read and post. There are also some really great forums at http://www.augi.com.
