IT forums are the same. Bikeforums has nothing on them!! I'm in IT and have been for years, but have never got up the courage to ask something on an IT forum. I'll search and read responses, but even if I still have questions the thread will likely have deteriorated into a "what are you? a complete idiot?" thing within about 4 posts, so I won't dare to ask for clarification.
