Pete:
I'm sorry, but this business of "everyone has his own opinion and we can learn from that person" is true only minimally: We can learn that the person with a wrong opinion is wrong. In the meantime comments that are wrong and go unremarked stand around to confuse lurkers and passers-by.
Again and again we hear pleas that we should treat every answer the same.
Pete: That's a bad idea. It's like going to a high school science class and asking how they would treat trichiasis. Some of them may have a vague idea what the malady is; how many know what to do about it?
The problem is not that we aren't sitting around together; the problem is everybody with a keyboard and an ISP has suddenly become an expert.
