Hear, hear! I'm also a fan of the forum option, mainly because discussions can be delegated into separate topics. "Recipes" would be something I could use right now.
The database listed in our files for recipes --
-- doesn't have the recipe I need for mixing up a 5-gallon batch for wall blocks for my climate. Should I add sand? Lime?
Y'all say to experiment, and I will, but honestly, I don't know what I'm looking for. I don't even know what I'm doing. This is all new to me. I don't need it to be strong, necessarily, just reliable/durable enough to build an outside decorative nonload-bearing wall.
With a forum, I could go to the "Experiments" section and find somebody somewhere who has built blocks for an outside wall, including what worked and what didn't. I could also add my experience to the forum someday.
Just my $.02.
