Re: suggestion: start a stackexchange site

["Joel Esler \(jesler\) via Snort-users" <snort-users () lists snort org>]

We had forums at one time.  We chose to discontinue them because the people that needed to answer the questions didn’t 
go to answer questions.  The advantage of the mailing list is that it arrives in your inbox.  It’s actually convenient, 
not inconvenient. 

Stackexchange is an interesting approach, I’ll look Into it.  But for now, I suggest asking your questions here.   
There are over 14,000 people on this mailing list alone.
