Re: got news to post? CHECK YOUR RESOURCES FIRST!
O.K. maybe I was a little harsh. Apologies. Its just that in my profession (Research Librarian) its the biggest sin you can commit.
Regarding the points about how to judge web sites.... All you need do is spend 10-20 minuets reserching said website to see if it has a bad reputation.
I think suggesting I am "trying to shut down this free flow of ideas" is a massive jump and a totaly unwarrented accusation. Its the last thing I am trying to do.
What you are infact saying is that there are too many websites too choose from, so lets belive them all. You are throwing out the baby with the bath water here. Being more discerning is only a good thing!
If you re-read my post, you will see that I am not suggesting people do not post news, but instead, think before they post news as fact.
Bottom line, I am only trying to help.
