But I think sci.math would be worth a try.  When people do post on
topic, good answers are often forthcoming, and you'd be helping to
improve the group with op-topic questions.  The trouble is that you
might need a newsreader with good filtering to be able to read the group
easily.  When I visit sci.math I see an almost empty group because
almost all the crank posters are being filtered.  You might be OK if you
use Google Groups just to watch your own thread though.  Look out in
particular for a poster called quasi -- he or she is always on topic and
posts good excellent replies at all levels, from simple algebra to
advanced topics.
