I'd call that support...

FWIW,  I have a whole *bunch* of the comp.os.os2.* newsgroups flowing in 
here, thanks to them being gated into the form of echos here in our net,  and 
there ain't nowhere *near* as much quality of information in those as there 
is in the fido echos.  There's lots more os-debate,  noise,  cross-posting,  
and even the occasional spam.
