[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1489785, member: 18945"] All I was trying to do was echo your own observations regarding what people say. (& type) In the old days..we would consult printed-on-paper material..them things called books. Now, we more often do it digitally. There's not one bit of difference in doing a good on-line research and reading it from a textbook or hearing it first hand from a speaker, but I often see people get a bit irate if anything is stated that comes from another source of any kind other than personal anecdotal evidence/experience even if sources are included. Remember the thread where someone said something to the effect that members here seemed to know a lot more about investing than elsewhere? Seen the same thing said about CT members' knowledge of history. Someone stated "They're just echoing what someone else said, or what they read on the internet..." (I found the latter a bit amusing, since most history by nature, pre-dates our own existence (birth)..how else [i]could[/i] we know it if we didn't read/hear it elsewhere? It matters little, if one learned it from books, from a preserved historical site, from videos, or from a website..like CT..learning is learning, knowledge is knowledge is knowledge. The source is irrelevant, tho it is nice to know what that source is to be able to view the source on a personal level. [/QUOTE]
