But I find the much harder to use to find information I'm interested in.

Searching is always problematic for me.  I seem to use the word "bucket" 
for X when almost everyone else uses "pail".  :-)  That seems to fall 
short of being user friendly for me.

Plus, I have to spend the time forming the questions.

I really like the newsgroup format, where I can simply scroll through 
the subjects and then read what I find interesting, and actually learn 
something new, rather than waiting until I have a problem that I need 
solved.

As you probably read in my other post, I don't like the true mailing 
list format either, but gmane.org solves that for me.
