Background: I've never fully (or even mostly / sufficiently) grokked C or C++, but now I'm in the position of having (or at least wanting) to review (and, ideally, modify) a large program written in C++ (scintilla / scite).
Question: I would like to find one (or a small number) of "newbie friendly" email lists where I could ask various questions. Aside: I much prefer a mail list to a forum or a, hmm what't the word -- one of those real time messaging type things where you post a question and the people that are online at the time see the question and might answer it. I have and will occasionally continue to use those, but I like mail lists best. (Aside: because debian-user is a list that I try to pay attention to, and often get answers even to OT questions, I may pose some of the questions here.) Thanks!!
