Thanks Garg ji and Gurcharan ji. eFI will continue to gain momentum though it had to bear the glitch of migrating to new site (new CMS). Of course, practically all of the brunt was (and is) borne by Garg ji to bring back and keeping the database, up to date. True, that many of the earlier members (including me) are participating lesser in suggesting IDs, typically because of changes that come across their lifestyle and occupation. I am sure - newer members will fill up that activity. Accuracy of our database, I think, is dependent on what is posted as query. If the post has sufficient and relevant aspects shown, accurate ID is reached sooner or later -- even if wrong IDs proposed while reaching accurate ID. Any post that gets various doubts expressed OR various IDs suggested - they are most often lacking relevant aspects which are needed for reaching accurate ID. This post eventually gets resurfaced and may gather more doubts. When such post surfaces among search results on web, some expert (non eFI) may feel inclined to post their thought while others may dismiss it. I do not think it reflects inaccuracy of eFI database OR would have negative impact on eFI's credibility. Such scenario "will" be found in any / every forum. Regards.
