Here's the deal. You can't change people. So don't even try. You won't get anywhere if you focus your efforts on trying to change people. The longer you are here, you pick on posting personalities. Most post a combo of facts and opinion. Depending on where they fall on the bell curve, the posts are either more fact based or more opinion based. The best thing to do is read and figure out which facts overlap from the majority of knowledgeable posters, and then weed out the opinions.
