Here's what you do on newsgroups.
1) Read
2) Reply if you want to.
3) Post if you feel you have something to contribute or if you have a
question.
4) Take everything with a grain of salt.
5) Ignore when you want to.
It's the internet and it's everywhere. And no...no one knows it all.
If you want to go head to head with someone then by all means feel
free to do so...it's the internet and the rest of us most likely
really care. Bickering threads only last a couple of days at the most
and they become history.
Enjoy the group!!
