Nice post, bro. That is true but the good thing about the boards is that if someone posts some bullshit, they are going to get called out on it by the knowledgable members on here, which there are many.
Its not like listening to the biggest guy at the gym for advice. Here if you post some advice, you better be able to back it up if challenged.
All I can say to newbies is read, read, read. And use the search function. Everything has been asked, debated, and answered before.
Great post!
