[Homesteadingfamily] Documentation / was: Cookware for prepping

>> I was in law school, I LIVE for documentation. I was thrown off a list
>> for
asking for documentation and when not getting it; proving the list moderator
was not only wrong, but mis-informing people (detrimentally too!!) she threw
me off. <<

Don't you just LOVE it when moderators/owners do that? Happened to me as
well in the past.

>> I've got a discourse from a well-known higher education professor who
>> wrote
about why Wikipedia and sites like those (yahoo answers, etc) should NEVER
be used by students. How students have C&P whole sections, including
incorrect info. It's okay to use as a directional guide, but not as info.
<<

I use Wikipedia only for things like looking up plants or animals, nothing
really important.
I used to work for a lawyer, and was REALLY surprised when he had me print
off something form Wikipedia. I tried to explain to him that anybody can go
in there and change/add sentences. He and his wife are not very computer
literate at all, he never even used the computer when he was in the office.

>> That's why I question those who post wiki sites w/o any other research.
>> It
shows they are a lemming; following the herd not doing their own research.
This leads to bad info and potentially deadly info. I've corrected stuff on
Wikipedia! <<

And I'm sure other, not-so-smart people make *corrections* there as well. I
would never use that as a reliable source of info...
