Right here on this list! And all you have to offer in return is
interesting questions. You ask the questions, we'll start spouting

Actually, I've noticed that the questions usually don't even have to
be very good or interesting.  Ask anything.  You'll get genneraly get
answers to:

 the question you asked

 the question you thought you were asking

 the question you should have asked

 a few other questions only tangentially related to the above
