Very Much in agreement with you. I see what this thread is about often around here in CD, but that in of itself is not enough for me to want to impose any set of rules on anyones answers or questions on CD because no one is paid to give anyone great answers here, CD isn't Customer Support its created by people willing to give there time and talent to further the cause of FIRST. whether its because you read the manual but cant quote it so you tell them " Yeah you can use them.. but I'm 89% sure so check the manual too!" or if they want to try something new and wacky that you might have seen before or never thought of so you give them your opinions " Sure, The Hover Craft will work but it seems in your setup someone will die before it gets off the ground". Examples of not 100% Great Answers. But if theres anything you would want to come away with after reading the CD forums shouldn't be "I Wish there was Less Spamming" but instead " People Try to Help when they can, wow
)
as for Information that may result in harmful or misleading, Insecurity in an answer is its own disclaimer. Start to worry when people give you the wrong answer on Purpose!
