An average user doesn't really want to talk to someone. They want to 
find an answer to their question, and maybe a bunch of settings to apply 
to their init file.

The stack-foo platform is extremely geared towards the ease of finding 
existing answers (via editing, tagging and voting), or contributing an 
answer that's comprehensive and easy to find (without searching through 
all the messages in a mailing list discussion).

You can't beat that.
