Wireshark *does* have a question-and-answer site, but that's not a forum - a Q&A site is a crowdsourced FAQ, where 
the goal is to *avoid* discussion as much as possible by making it possible for people to find questions that have 
already been asked and answered, so they just have to read the answer, rather than post a question and wait for the 
answer.  That's why, for example:

        ...

        if a question is asked in a comment on the original question, in order, for example, to get more information 
required to answer the question but not present in the original question, the answer to that question should be posted 
as a subsequent comment to the original question, *NOT* as an answer to the original question, and why we'll change an 
"answer" that doesn't answer the original question into a comment - an answer, on a Q&A site, should be an answer to 
the original question;

        if a question is asked in a comment on an answer, in order, for example, to get details of the answer explained 
better, the answer to that question should be posted as a subsequent comment on that answer.

Note also that you can edit your own question, so that, if a comment is posted asking for more details, you can put the 
details in your question - just post a comment saying you've updated the question.  That way, the original question can 
be read by others, to see whether it's the same question as the one to which they're looking for an answer.
