Wrong information can be intentional or unintentional. The affect it can have can be same. And they can be present in a printed book too.

There is no way to do 100% efficient crowd control with any kind of policies. Some posters here have given some good pointers on those policies.

It also requires the user to be aware of the pitfalls. --- n9986 -- LUG@IITD - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
