To try to quell rumors and correct misinformation just because we care about the new folks who read what is written here and really don't know what to believe, to try to give them truthful answers is a very good thing.
I still don't understand just sometimes blatant fibs on here by first time posters. You have to wonder what the agenda is for that.
You are right. Everyone has to do their "due diligence" but some of us really care that folks who have NEVER been here get the right information.
And sometimes some of us act like "know it alls".
That would be me. I'm sorry.
