If you came here from an online forum where folks post questions and answers to questions, you should note there are four kinds of forums. First is the real, proper and honest forum. They work as you would expect them to work. Next are company forums. These are really marketing tools for the sponsoring company. Most posts ask questions that can be addressed by the vendor's  own products or post about how good the vendor's products are. Folks with solutions using other vendor's products, or those that have issues with the vendor's product, don't get their messages posted and are usually kicked off the forum for good. Third are 'vulture' forums. These have a few industry sponsors and when unsuspecting posters ask for a solution to a problem the sponsors swoop down and go into selling mode.  The final kind of forum are 'dead' forums where the most recent posts are months or even years old. Know which forum type you visit.
