[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1794220, member: 26077"] The internet has been a great source of information. YouTube videos on how to fix everything from Can openers to 747s have been a real boon to DIY guys. By the same token, validating data provided by people on forums has become almost impossible. There are no "Qualifications" posted for most people who respond on forums so some key board warrior's opinion initially has as much credibility as someone with 10 years of in-depth experience. With forums like this one, it doesn't take long to know who provides good info versus who is part of the blow hard crowd. The only way to know something for an absolute certainty is to try it yourself, next best is to keep a list of the guys that always provide high quality input and PM them if you aren't getting the answers you want to a question you post. There is a lot more nonsense on the net and it continues to grow,, but it is still a great information resource, just a lot more work to sift through the dross to find the pearls. [/QUOTE]
