Default Poor advice

Why do some folks post so called, "EXPERT ADVICE", when it's apparent that they DON'T KNOW SQUAT?

Bill, This is a good illustration as to why people should post and not PM or Email technical questions or responses. If totally wrong "Expert Advice" is posted at least there is the probability others will question it. We all make mistakes sometimes (don't ask me how I know).

Cuz we all think we are smart about everything, even when we are not. Plus old farmer's wives tales get started and carried on....like the infamous radiator flow test recently discussed.

Throughout my life, I have experienced that this vintage old saying about "Advice" holds true in most cases:

1. Smart folks do not need it.

2. Fools never follow it.
