I'm pretty sure there are some services > that do news <-> mail bi-directional gateways; maybe gmane? just .02 here, I personally find irc to be particularly helpful for "bouncing ideas" when programming. It seems to have that right mix, for me at least, of immediate help and variety of ideas without mental gear-switching of reading API docs. heh, to put that in English... I find that the interactive component of irc is more in line with how my brain functions when coding than the longer lag times of email. But that is, of course, a personal preference. I don't know what, if any C/C++ irc channels there are, but I'm sure they're out there. A
