That's real alright, or close to it anyway, just a bit irrelevant lol.
Read with a bit of savvy and you can have a good idea about whether or not something is accurate. Always take information from more than one source, by source 4 or 5 you can usually work out what is "common knowledge" and what is reality. If it's an article look at who is publishing it so you've got an idea of the motives behind the article and therefore any likely bias. If it's a forum have a look at the poster's other posts - do they actually appear to have sound knowledge and experience or do they just like the sound of their own voice and repeating what other people have said elsewhere (often inaccurately). I find it helps to imagine the sentences read aloud by somebody in a pub who is talking over everyone else at the table with a few mispronunciations thrown in.
