I personally think your right to some degree, however I think
your asking to much to ask people to take the time to quote sources.
I have been on the Inet for only about a year now and I have found
more usefull info on here than I have found anywere else. Mainly
because most of the people you talk to on the net are just like you
and I. They are not paid to say what they say. I find that a very
vaulable commoditity in todays world.
Even the magizines that we probably all enjoy and love will
publish reviews on products that 'stack the deck'. Thus I have went
out and bought products according to the reviews of a magizine only to
latter find that I hated the product and felt like I was missled by
the articals. On the net I hear many peoples opinion on the product
alowing me to make a much better decisition on it before I buy. My
point being, that hearing the concenous veiw that you get on the list
is a self correcting thing. If many people say it is OKay then it
probably is. I find that most people just don't ask very specific
questions in the first place and therefore don't get very specific
answers to their questions. I also think that anyone who does not
test someone elses opinion in the first place is being a little
foolish and probably needs to be burned once or twice. Is this not
what the idea of trust is based on? You test someones opinion to see
if they are correct, and if they are you trust them to be correct the
next time. Of course one is correct all the time. Sometimes our
mistakes are even intentional. Are any of us nieve enough to think
that any opinion that is posted on the net is fact? Surely not. Plus
with instruction manuals being what they are now days I find the net
an invaluable source of tutorals and how to's simply for the asking
(liturally).
With all this in mind I can however certainly agree with you
that there are some things that are not apropreate for the list. Such
as flaming, etc... I am however willing to wade through a certain
amount of that to get to the good stuff.
