I agree, and as I suggested a moment ago "higher in the thread", I think
the best antidote is a very quick one liner:
"No, this is incorrect - following this advice will not work (damage
your system) ( whatever comment)"
"See the post by <whoever.got.it.right> for a better answer"
Ok, that was two lines, but you get the idea. This would stop the
interminable kindergarten threads of "Did so" -- "Did not" -- "DID
SO!" -- "DID *NOT!!!*"
Cheers all.
