Not wanting to discourage you from posting, but I must correct my previous post, since it’s misleading and might get you in trouble.

When posting in GQ, you should only post facts you are sure of. Only when the question is vague there might be reason to give some reasonable speculations (and ask for clarification of the issue). Otherwise you might unintentionally contribute to spreading disinformation, which is _not_ what this board intends.

Of course, if you are in a different forum (such as GD or MPSIMS) those rules do not apply in the same way, given the different nature of those fora.

I felt I had to correct this since I was rightly pointed out recently that you should stay on topic in GQ or stay away (only in more polite language).
