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.
The problem is that most of the intellectually perceptive and inquisitive posters, that would thoroughly research the thought provoking topics about TV future issues ,no longer post.They obviously became extremely exasperated with the negativity they received on this board, about their message(don't kill the messenger) on controversial and significant issues on the future of TV. I miss their invaluable contributions and hope someday that some of them will return and enlighten us again on TV and it's long term future.
