Maybe you'd enjoy the BBC forum on www.stairwaytohell.com

I find it has a 'warmer' feel to it. People can post without worrying 
that every word of their post will be scrutinised for grammar and 
spelling. 

It still has technical discussions, and covers many varying topics but 
not to the electrical-degree type level used here.  John Kortink even 
pops on with shameless plugs so it must be good!
