appreciated for their motivation, yes. but what if the answer is flat
out wrong or misleading? this happens quite a bit and those bad answers
have to be countered along with answering the original issue. i am not
for classifying repliers here but i do recommend some self restraint
among those who aren't sure about their given answer. or at least couch
their post with 'this may work but i am learning too' or something
similar.
and even experts make mistakes. the goal here is to get correct and
quality answers to newbies and that means posters need to know the
quality of their answers and to hold back if they are not sure.
Well, it isn't like I don't agree with your main points. I do.
Well, how about this? If A posts a question, B replies but B is "flat out
wrong", then what if expert C replies but not to B's message, but to A's? Less
frustration for C and both A and B learn something ... and maybe C will even get
two "Thank you's" for the price of one... Seems more productive and less
stressful than taking it out on B, isn't it??
As someone who has been both A and B on _this_ very message board (C -- not yet
:-P ), I, for one, am glad that the person C at the time (sorry, forgot who it
was...) didn't take it out on me...
