I have a number of tax questions and am looking for forums that I can
post to and get free advice (worth of course what I pay for it).  I
tried misc.taxes.moderated  but it seemed to only be open to tax
professionals.  misc.taxes seemed to have a high noise to signal
ratio.

Are there other forums outside of USENET that I can get advice from?
