Default A note on misinformation - Please don't pontificate on subjects you're not well versed in or...

...aren't prepared to explain well. Often a little bit of bad or misleading or only partially correct information is worse than no information at all.

Not going to name names, but some here seem to like to offer advice in areas that they either don't understand, or aren't prepared to fully explain.

And please realize that all information provided here is worth little more than what you paid for it, which is to say, nothing....

(I only raise this point because the propogation of misinformation is one of my major pet peeves WRT the information/communication age. I hate to see folks getting and using bad information potentially to their own disadvantage. A lot of folks like to think they understand more than they do... (myself included?)....)

Default People need to search the archives. It's all there.

Why repost over and over again? That's nonsense.

The trouble is that 5 out of 4 people do not understand fractions.

Default Good point. All advice should atleast come w/ a disclaimer.

But don't worry mm. If you don't correct something you know to be wrong, someone else probably will. There may be a lot big talkers on this board (like most), but from what I can tell, there is also a good share of knowledgable ones to.
