Taking Advice From Others
This has been bothering me for a while. So, I'm going to let it out here. I've seen a lot of members, not just new ones, with the attitude that only mods and vets can be trusted. This is not true. On the other hand, I'm not saying you can trust everybody. I've seen a lot of responses that were completely wrong. You have to make the final decision on what you do! Just because it says Mod or Vet beside somebody's name, does not make them all knowing. They haven't tried everything. Nobody is an expert on everything. There are a lot of members on this board that have more knowledge than many of the vets and mods. Also, just because somebody looks good, doesn't mean they know everything either. I know a lot of guys who know what they are doing but still don't look that great. I also know a lot of guys who don't know shit that look decent. It is up to you to sift through all the crap and get an answer and make a decision.
While I'm at it, I want to give props to TNT for his dedication to answering people's questions correctly. I'm not sure that I have ever disagreed with any of his remarks. The fact that he almost always backs up his answers with research, says that he is both well read and takes the time to make sure he gives a correct response. I appreciate that and everybody else should!
