Thinking aloud here again.....
Just wondering whether a new DIY forum relating to appliances might be appropriate? E.g. washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, fridges and freezers, perhaps even PCs.
I've been a subscriber to the uk.d-i-y usenet group and there are a considerable number of enquiries posted on that forum relating to broken fan belts, leaking door seals, etc. None of the current forums are entirely appropriate for that sort of issue.
And SF haven't got one of these forums either.....
