Where do you have the most success getting your ArcGIS development questions answered?

ESRI forums? Stack Overflow? Google? Mailing lists? Blog posts? ESRI documentation?

I can usually get answers to my ASP.NET/Oracle/JavaScript/C# questions in short order, but questions about ESRI products and APIs are a different matter. Posts founder in the forums, Google returns void, etc.

I'm sure this is not uncommon for niche commercial products, but frustrating nevertheless. What works for you? Please share.
