What took you so long? I can sign up for their forum in under 5 minutes
- less than three minutes if I don't count the time waiting for the
authorization email.
And yes, it is a case of either/or. People are not going to post the
same information to both the forum and usenet. They'll post it to the
forum and that's all.
But this is the wrong place to try to drum up support, anyway. You
should be trying to get it on the Joomla forums. But I see you've done
that - with, so far, a distinct lack of interest from the Joomla community.
