When making a post and quoting "factual" information,
please make it quite clear if what you are posting is
not definite or perhaps could be plain wrong...

For example:

The earth is flat.

No, I think that you will find that it is actually round,
or, more accurately, "spherical" (or thereabouts)...

Thanks for that SomeOneElse, was only going on memory.

Great, now anyone that only read your first post
and not your second thinks that the world is flat

But the world is flat.

... and so the propagation of mis-information continues...

Maybe the world's like a flying carpet, because some parts of
it are "upside-down".

Spider, the only reason why you haven't fallen off into space
is because arachnids have sticky feet... (Please don't tell me
that's not true, because it is, and I'm always right!)


etc etc, I'll get my coat...
