I agree with Ken. Although newbies *do* answer other newbie's questions, their answers are not always accurate (I'm not thinking of any particular person or answer, this is a general comment). And although it's true that gurus are busy no matter where the questions are posted, they are a lot more likely to answer questions that are posted to a forum they are reading anyway, for their own needs.
I think that detailed documentation, with lots of examples, for non-technical graphic designers is going to help more in the long run than a separate discussion bboard. The worst thing we can do, IMHO, is set up bboards for newbies where questions then languish unanswered.
