Find Human Experts (Usenet/Google Groups/Yahoo Groups)
I would rate this as probably the most valuable Internet resource that there is
All over the Internet there are communities of Experts and Enthusiasts ready to answer your queries. This can often vastly speed up your information search. It's your job to find the correct user group and to pose your question intelligently and politely.
I use these groups to help me with home repairs, car repairs, computer problems, programming languages, how to swim or cycle better. In fact with virtually any problem.
Why do people give free help away? well vanity might be one reason, another is that they improve their own expertise by helping others, sometimes that might have a rather dull job.
