Aaargh! Why did I ask? yuck, indeed...
So--in relation to this forum, though: This brings us to the question of
"reputation." In a forum open to anyone in the world, how do you decide
whether the advice you are being given is good or not?
1) Since this is a public forum, advice is open to critique by others--which
is good.
2) Check back and see how long someone has been around and whether others
have responded that their advice has helped.
3) The HTML versions of these forums attach some symbols intended to provide
some guidance--to folks whose answers are marked as correct by others.
So--watch out for the fake eggs, and those critters that lurk under
bridges...
