Statistics questions tend to end up on http://stats.stackexchange.com/, so you
could try that, too. It's a well-informed community.

As counter-intuitive as it may seem, explaining something to somebody
else forces you to order your thoughts and think through the knowl
Use Usenet. sci.math, sci.math.research, and sci.logic are some of the best
mathematics and logic resources on the internet.

Now, a person who has profound knowledge of the subject you're asking
about is not very likely to do this, because he is probably not going to
learn anything in the process. Dedicating time and effort to studying
your particular problem is not an appealing prospect.

He said "Trying to distinguish first between knowledgeable, wise,
guru, wizard, etc." before asking the actual mathematics related
question.
Beware: the expert
"X" is an unknown quantity
"spert" is a drip under pressure

Andrew Coppin :
I haven't yet found anywhere where I can say "when would a chi-squared
test be more appropriate than a KS test?" and get an informed,
knowledgeable answer. (Answers from people who /know/ what they're
talking about rather than just /think/ they know.)
With all my respect:

Apart from math.stackexchange.com and mathoverflow.net, which people
have already mentioned, people
The http://math.stackexchange.com/ for normal questions,
http://mathoverflow.net/ for research level questions.
