> 1. From the perspective of someone looking for information, how do you decide what information to trust? What leads you to trust a web site? Another group member?
If the writer(s) seems knowledgeable (I guess I judge that by how logical and 'lucid' they seem) then that initially leads to some trust regarding the information they provide. I then go to the Google search engine to get more details/verify what they have said.
As for trusting a website, only the confidentiality/encryption issues matter to me.> 2. From the perspective of someone providing information, do you just pass it on, or do you try to present it in a certain way?
I pass on my personal experiences only and try to be objective: not 'pushing' or 'trashing' anything in particular.
