    I’ve posted lots on STW and received some great advice (cheers!), but it does strike me sometimes as the last place to look for a definitive answer for anything. No matter what gets asked, there will be lots of conflicting opinions and you can easily pick a side to suit your need. Is this what is called learning through (other people’s) experience?

    Wait for SFB/TJ to post.

    Take the opposite view.

    On balance, tends to be RIGHT 😉

    (I realise the flaw as demo’d by the depression thread, thanks)

    You obviously haven’t got the “forum troll exclusion” plug in! 😆

    I find that if I want an opinion, an Internet forum (or an old-school BBS – http://www.mono.org ) is the best place to go. If I want a factual answer, I’d hit google (or, I guess, go to a topic-specific forum).

    What I mean is,

    If I want help contesting a speeding ticket, I’d ask on Pepipoo. If I wanted (say) help disassembling a HollowtechII BB, I’d ask on here.

    Doesn’t mean you can’t get opinion as -well- though.

    I come here specifically for other people’s opinions. Isn’t that the point?

    I already know what my opinions are. And I can get facts from google.

    True, but my perhaps badly worded OP was asking if a forum is the best place to get a definitive answer. I’m not sure the web is any better since you click on a link and invariably get one answer, click on another link and get a different answer.

    I get disappointed when the internet doesn’t give me the answer I want 😀

    Even if you didn’t want an opinion – you’ll get one

    No matter what gets asked, there will be lots of conflicting opinions and you can easily pick a side to suit your need.

    You could go to a couple of university professors or doctors in a teaching hospital and still get conflicting opinions. Try getting a learned consistent opinion on climate change; you’ll still get conflicting opinions the same as here on this forum. I can’t imagine any scientific field where there aren’t conflicting views. S’life, innit.
