I assume you are not applying that to me (or indeed some others who have commented in these forums negatively in the past, ChatPilot for one) or I might be tempted to suggest that many people seem to say that kind of thing when the real difference is that they do know what you think they don't but simply disagree.

I just feel that when a Wikipedia article has a list of references for it's various statements, to throw that into question is to doubt anything but first-hand experience. I mean, how is Wikipedia any less reliable than scientific journal when we have a community of people keeping it constantly updated, with extensive references?
