I don't think anyone is "anti-Forum".  Just last week I had mailing
list volunteers accusing me of being a mailing list hater because I
suggested we should do support primarily on the support forums.  The
truth is I, and many others,  are just trying to figure out how best
integrate the eclectic mix of OOo sub projects and their communities
into an Apache project.  This includes the support forums, but it
includes a lot more as well.

If you think someone had a post that was ignored, please point me to
it.  I might be able to help you formulate it into a more concrete
proposal.

I don't think we disagree based on lack of information.  I think it is
more based on differing opinions on the importance of transparency and
Apache Way decision making.
