Re your post #13 - Very true, but it depends on the forum...

Not at all. If the blog is public anybody reading it can do a fact check and post on their own blog what they find.

Re your posts #30 and #38 -- Yes, you are right, when speaking in terms of the entire blogosphere. But I was only talking about what happens within a forum. And, in that case, it does depend on the forum. But, true -- out and beyond, there is still a whole other realm.
