I never really noticed anyone giving out bad information. I think people just
post what they feel they know, and hopefully if someone doesn't agree, they
will post a counter view. That debate is what makes the list so great. If
anyone posts any bad information, it is IMPORTANT that someone post a
disagreement or an opposing view (if not a flat out "correction" if it is
REALLY bad!) to it. As for me, I only will post something that I am confident
in the validity of, but if anyone ever didn't agree with me, I would HOPE
they would post about it and let me and everyone else know. I certainly am
far less of an expert and with far less experience that a lot of the others
on the list. So I would FULLY welcome any disagreements and/or corrections
from others. I would only post information that I was confident in, to help
others, but if I was wrong, I would feel bad if the info was put out and no
one opposed it, if they thought it was incorrect.
