Sites like

http://www.experts-exchange.com/

make me laugh. Sure I am going to register on a secure server to read the posts they have captured from elsewhere and added some ads to to enhance them. No thanks.

Actually, that's not what they do. First of all, I am no fan of web fora such as the OP is advertising, and I prefer USENET for technical discussion. But, I've found Experts-Exchange useful enough to me in my daily work to sign up. And to be fair, they don't "capture" posts from elsewhere and recycle them. At least, I haven't seen that. On two or three occasions I've posted questions regarding difficult technical issues I was fighting with and received intelligent and helpful responses. Would I have received similar responses if I had posted to USENET instead? Probably. I'm not arguing that point; I'm merely suggesting that you have mis-characterized the nature of their site.

DISCLAIMER: I have no financial interest in or arrangement with Experts-Exchange other than as an end-user/member.
