Hi all, I am a newcomer to STATA and diving in to the manuals tutorials helpfiles. and now recently signed up for this forum.

Is there a live realtime place I can go for help on STATA use? Like an IRC channel or chat site or something?

I have used the Codementor site a few times with some basic questions to available live freelancers when I have gotten stuck, it's been very helpful but I was wondering if there are other resources - beyond this forum (which has been very useful btw, I just like to have a live person to ask when I get stuck and can't find the solution in searching around and when I can't wait for forums replies).

Thanks!
