It stops me from learning rebel, when on one hand i see lots of different fish being posted with ID and links then hear two respected and known experts refute at least some of that info, and say its misinformation. All of a sudden now i have to unlearn what i just soaked up..... (i know...i know telost will say he is no expert, but thats just his opinion :). So now im just looking at pictures ive already seen and ignoreing the ID and not learning anything because i already own enough wrong information as it is.

It should go without saying that you should always check your spelling and grammar, especially when trying to spread information. It is difficult for people to take something seriously when written with improper spelling and grammar. Typing in word is a good idea, I used to be pretty bad at spelling and grammar and I'm not not what I would consider very good, I always make sure to check for spelling mistakes.
