If you were to ask "If the sky is blue", you would get 10 yes's, 3 no's, and 14 variations of colors that cover the spectrum. And they might ALL be right, depending on where you are standing, looking into the sky.
BUT... sometimes we make mistakes. Mistakes in how we word our answers. Mistakes in the facts we give. Mistakes in answering a question has no right answer. (Then there is the "dumb" question issue)
I see answers that are the exact opposite of what has worked spendidly for years, for me. That doesn't make them wrong. People do different things, in different area's. Sometimes they do it different right next door to us.
Before you go off on someone about their "erronious information", you have to consider the possibility that your "assumtion" that they are wrong (becouse you disagree) would make YOU wrong.
Then there is the issue of things that are just flat WRONG. I've read some replies about chemical use, that might just kill someone. That has to be addressed. I believe that anything you read on here, has to be measured as to the correctness, and safety. I wouldn't do ANYTHING that someone else tells me, without thinking it out first.
Lastly, the "respect" issue. If you do choose to "correct" someone, do it in a way that isn't slamming their head against the wall. They might have just made a simple mistake. You don't have to line them up in front of a firing squad. Just say something like, I read your reply, and I would like to disagree. Everyone would get the chance to read BOTH opinions, and judge for themselves. No one needs to be emmbarrassed over a mistaken answer.
Who knows, you might make a mistake YOURSELF someday. JMHO, John

The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve.
