Hi John, That's a given. Obviously someone who states they are not sure about something or makes some other qualification to the effect the information may not be accurate would not fall under this guideline because they told the person up front they were uncertain about the information's accuracy. What this guideline is being considered to do is to cut down on the kind of messages where by someone gives purely false information without stopping to consider the accuracy of the post he/she sends. Such as Mr. Format's sage advise to format a computer when he doesn't know the answer to a technical question thereby giving very bad advice to an unsuspecting end user and showing his ignorance to the rest of us who know better. :D
