There also seems to be an increase in the amount of erroneous information. That is the bad news.
A lot of this can have serious consequences. People asking for information may rely on the answers they get here. However, those answers may be from self styled experts who are wrong. There are even cases of others correcting the error only to replace it with another error.
I am not referring to questions such as electric cart vs. gas cart or new vs. resale. Anyone asking about subjects such as those will expect opinions. However, much more serious questions are asked. They include bond issues, taxes, our form of government, IRS issue and more. People deserve correct answers as they may be making a big decision and that decision could depend on the answer they get here.
This problem is out of the hands of the Admins. They cannot be expected to check the accuracy of every post. It is in our hands. Let's get our facts right before responding.
My comments are not meant to include the political forum or any sub forum or question requesting an opinion.

This board is not made up of a group of experts but I find that most of the information is correct. Anyone with a serious, life changing question should seek the advice of an expert.
But to think that it's a problem that deserves attention is wrong. Maybe you should check your "facts".
