Speaking of which, I know this has been raised before, but the new "forums" 
on the Xastir home page are starting to gather postings by new users who are
under the impression that they are going to get help there in a timely 
fashion.  There are currently 9 threads in the "User Support" forum.

I know I am not reading those forums regularly (and have no intention of 
starting, as I can't stand participating in web-based forums).  It doesn't 
look like very many others from here are, either, judging from the number of 
responses to questions in the forum.

I'd like to suggest that at a minimum, a sticky topic should be there warning
forum users that the best way to get support is here, not there.
