> totally frustrating (no attachments possible in 2014 ?)

I appreciate that. Attachments may look spiffy but they increase spam incidence and often don't facilitate helpful responses in this context because, to investigate a user's problem, a responder needs the literal text of table creation and data queries.

> archaic (1980s layout),

Who cares? This isn't a fashion show. The software works and the content is clearly laid out.

> over-secure ('spam prevention' code entry every post?)

Spam still gets through, so it's still not secure enough.

> donkey-paced (replies in dribs and drabs

Facebook this isn't (mercifully). It's not a pop culture site. There are not millions of users, and the number of volunteer responders is small.
