Fair enough, but remember that people who post questions to Microsoft
newsgroups are looking for answers to problems, not more problems. Also
remember that the skills of the poster may range from the completely
lost and daft to quasi expert. Novice users may not understand the
implications or complications that may be caused by applying an
incorrect fix or suggestion, or a plainly dangerous idea.

One of the strengths of peer groups is that answers given are subject to
peer review and subject to corrections when incorrect or improper advice
is given. Peer reviewers may also add additional information that the
helper may have omitted or otherwise clarify things. Just accept that
your information was incorrect and move on, live and learn. We all make
mistakes, I made a a mistake once, I thought I was wrong when actually I
was right...
