the archives of its ancient posts on CTAN.
If those “back question” searches fail, you’ll have to ask the world
at large. To ask a question on comp.text.tex, you can use
your own news client (if you have one), or use the “start a new
topic” button on http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex.
To ask a question on texhax
, you may simply send mail to
texhax@tug.org, but it’s probably better to subscribe to the
list (via http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/texhax)
first — not everyone will answer to you as well as to the list.
Other alternative sources are the
“LaTeX community” site or
TeX, LaTeX and friends Q&A site.
Neither of these is particularly long-established (the “friends”
site is still in beta state at
the time of writing), but they’re already popular and helpful.
Do not try mailing the
LaTeX project team,
the maintainers of the TeX Live or MiKTeX distributions
or the maintainers of these FAQs
for help; while all these addresses reach experienced (La)TeX
users, no small group can possibly have expertise in every area of
usage so that the “big” lists are a far better bet.
