I was under the impression that the Answers Forum and the Newsgroup Forum were to be two distinct entities.
The Newsgroup answering folks questions on issues with specific Matlab issues to their problems and the Answers Forum offering more global issues with respect to Matlab.
It seems to me that the majority of submissions to the Answers forum should be submitted to the Newsgroup and in a lot of cases, desperate folks are posting to both.
So, my general question to this group, is there any value to the Answers forum?
As a professional, trying to promote Matlab in my field, I am finding the two forums starting to compete for my time. As a professional, time is limited. I do not want to have to search two forums.
I think Answers was a nice try, but without some sort of control on what is posted, this is simply becoming a second Newsgroup.
So, I ask again, what value is there in having two forums when one when works?
