Probably half the people posting on Usenet are not who they say they are
or
haven't done the things they say they have done. Even if you ARE who you
say
you are on Usenet, it's STILL incumbent on those reading what is written
to
do their own research to separate fact from fiction.
Only a total fool takes Usenet at face value. Everything posted on Usenet
is
questionable.

Very true. At worst; it's entertainment, with no waiting for your
favorite
program. At best, it contains information with a bibliography--or at
least
a couple of new search arguments to further your search.

I always tell people when I post something I feel is of importance
concerning flight safety on Usenet;
"Please feel free to take this post to competent authority for verification
".
Then, after years of posting comment and information, if that information is
factual and accurate, the number of people who actually take your posts to
check them out might diminish a bit :-)
