It depends on what method Z is.  If Z is a fairly standard method that has been around for a while, the sci.stat.* usenet groups (where * = consult, edu or math) have been pretty good places to get help over the years.  (Some might tell you they have more spam than they used to, but depending on how you access them, you can do a pretty good job of filtering it out.)  For medical statistics, the Medstats group (in Google Groups) is pretty good.  There are also other mailing lists for specific methods (e.g., multilevel models, classification methods), but I don't have much (if any) first-hand knowledge of those.

There's the issue about questions that are not really about SPSS but about statistical approaches ("does method Z make sense to answer question Q given this data?").  Are there better email lists to direct those to?
