By the way, you are welcome to post "i need help" questions in whatever forum covers the topic of the question, e.g., "Mac Applications" for an iCal problem, "iPod/iTunes Discussion" for an iTMS question, etc. In fact, that's preferred when it is forum-topic specific.
Having "Mac Basic and Help" under "Mac Hardware" is another clue that we don't expect all questions to go there.
The "Mac Basics and Help" forum is the catch-all forum for questions that don't have a more specific home. But it's not a big deal to sort them out this way so it wasn't worth having long-winded explanations to say all that.
