I think my point has also been mostly missed.

I'm not saying that people should or should'nt be afraid of posting in the Books forum.

I'm saying that they are.

And, face it, as much as you or anyone tells me I shouldn't be intimidated doesn't change the fact that I am. And it's difficult to start a new thread when, let's face it, it's all been said. Coming back to find my question ignored except for a "refer to..." isn't encouraging.

And seriously, how often is such a referral actually a catalyst for further discussion in that old thread?

Clearly something isn't working.

It's all well and good you saying that there shouldn't be a problem. But it's not productive, nor will it help in finding a solution. I'd like to find something less drastic, however, than Mac's solution of a new forum.
