One site that I like for statistical questions is Cross Validated
stats.stackexchange.com

Statistical questions and answers there are generally pretty high quality.

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.
