compdoc,
Thanks for your reply. However, I think you misunderstood me. Of course 
if the "they" are indicated as e.g. " the investigators of.." or at 
least an indication is given on what for information the conclusions of 
"they" is founded ( and where it can be found) then your remark is 
correct. There is too much hearsay information based on nothing or 
non-sense (in the literal meaning of the word). I realise, however, that 
such a more scientific attitude is often not appreciated. People like to 
believe what they want to believe (again referring to political speak) 
as we in my country (the Netherlands) has suffered of the last 18 months.

I also am curious which system managers use Webmin.
