Steve,

I'd like to throw my hat in with some of the others...your work would be much more effective in different medium (perhaps a blog). When I come to a forum, I often skip over lengthy posts because I simply don't have time to read them (not when I am out and about on forums anyway).

If you committed such things to a blog, then they would not get lost within a forum. If you wanted interaction on your writings, you could simply make a post referencing a new post you have made to your blog and invite discussion (you would also have the comments section of your blog).

As a general rule, a post to a forum should be rather succinct and to the point, references to lengthy support may be made but should be made as an external link.

My two cents.
