Lot of armchair know it alls on here!

[Whiterose]

Just be aware there are some very dubious commentators on these forums from people who wouldn’t know a boat from a bathtub!The more complex the question the more doubtful the responses. So any advice suggestions etc double check. Sorry it sounds obvious but when you’re enthusiastic and want a response sometimes you want to hear what you want to hear!Having said that there are also a myriad of obviously knowledgeable members!

True, but after you’ve been here a while you know whose advice you can trust…

It”s the internet, everything needs to be checked before staking your life on it. Besides, all of us are wrong sometimes. Some of us might only be right sometimes !

Just be aware there are some very dubious commentators on these forums . . .

How do you know?

The rules of Internet forums:-
1 ask six people, expect seven answers
2 ask what brand of butter is best, expect to be told you should be buying margarine
3 specifically state you don’t want to discuss something but someone will still bring it up
4 sooner or later someone will accuse someone else of behaving like Hitler

5… (add your own here…)

If the OPs view is that the forum posters are untrustworthy, then he himself must be untrustworthy, so his own post cannot be relied on. Logical, innit ?

Well it is in fact the advice that matters. I try where possible to suggest alternatives to the general advice. ie every one says buy a new one. I would rather discuss bodging the old. Not that i would want people to follow my advice but just to encourage thinking out side the box. I am a bit dismayed at Whitehorse comments. I think there is a wealth of info available for free. Some is good some is worth what you pay for it. As with all things you must make a judgement. ol'will

I am an armchair expert…but my armchair is on my boat..so anyone can take or leave any wisdom I proffer

 

[Buck Turgidson]

No room for armchairs on my boat. I don't know the first thing about them.

 

[Bouba]

I find that this forum is an amazing source of knowledge….in return I try to entertain

Oh that’s a shame not all the members live up to your high standards. Perhaps we need two forums, one for those you believe meet your standards and another for the less well versed.
