The message boards are good for sounding ideas or for when a person want to know how someone else did with a certain lure or a particular technique - a well-answered question can shorten the learning curve. I've heard over on the big message board that the message board is the best resource, the best learning tool short of experience. That's not so true - if it was, I would not have sold so many copies of Zeno's book.
My wife likes to watch home improvement shows and she's been watching for years, but she still can't hang a set of blinds. I'm of the opinion that the internet and the message board medium are quite similar to television: while there is a lot of good information, it lacks unity and coherence and the learning method is highly passive. The message board and the give and take associated with asking questions is a wonderful and useful tool, but it is not without shortcomings.
