You all know that I am a fiend when it comes to information. I love to study up and read on things until all avenues are exhausted. I was looking up a couple of things yesterday and found that only one person had information on the topic I was researching. It made me ask a couple of questions.
Just what topic did I stumble onto?
Is it that rare only one person knows anything about it?
How did it happen that only one person has information on it if I am seeking it too?
Did this one person make it up to seem important to others?
It really got me to thinking about how information is handled on the internet. Its basically like a major elementary school playground. Anybody can say anything, until someone doesn't like it. Then a fight breaks out. The loser of the fight recants what they said. The winner of the fight maintains their information as the correct information to have. Unfortunately we have no playground monitor.
I cant help but think of all the BS people are swallowing as fact because of an information hog who bullies people into shutting their mouths, hacking their sites and leaving the online communities. It makes me sick.
Please don't take information online as gospel. If the information works for you, good. If it doesn't keep looking. Ask people in person. Make an appointment with someone who might have some answers. All they can say is no or if they don't have your answers, might send you to someone who does have an answer for you. Keep looking, don't settle. The internet is not the only place for information.
