I agree, but for slightly different reasons. Knowledge aquasition here is not of the read it and now know it scheme. By and large I don't belive I have learnt anything here over the material I usually read. However, what this forum in particular is very good at is helping me spot the flaw in my own views/throughts/knowledge.
As an example I have lost count of the number of times I have feaverishly attempted some witty rebuke to a poster, but upon typing realising how dumb I have been. Also, stating what I consider to be fact and getter another view that I hadn't even considered.
Traits of a forum populated by the right folk
Albeit a rather rowdy bunch on occasions
