Michael,
>What if you wanted to create an entirely new public forum, say related to your own product, or on some topic of general interest? I have this crazy notion, for example, that every software product's help system or "knowledge base" would benefit from being smoothly and directly connected to a corresponding category in an open online discussion system. My sense of it, admittedly based on a very sketchy understanding, is that WestWind's stuff would be a suitable tool to build such a system, maybe even the best tool. Would you agree?
