You could poke thru the GB archives below
http://www.mines.uidaho.edu/ftp/pub/Glowbugs/GBArchives/
And maybe even ask the odd question if you subscribe to the list. Primarily

Don't even think about PICs while there though!
For them- there are message boards and forums attached to a lot of the PIC
and microcontroller sites around- try them.
