An interesting thread. I don't have a problem with the occasional element of bullshit on this forum. Our natural sense of discrimination enables us to separate it from the genuine article, and adds colour to a sometimes rather dry discussion.
While I would never consider myself to be "informed" musically to anything approaching the level of the real professionals on this forum I do have expertise in other fields that sometimes resonates with problems posters are experiencing, and sometimes I can even help them. I'll confess to sometimes having posted something that was not as I thought, and on these occasions I have generally been corrected by someone more knowledgeable than me. This has invariably been done respectfully and amicably.
Sometimes a poster crops up with a lot to say and not much to back it up, but these are easily recognizable after a few posts and they generally fade away after a while. Although they may not contribute greatly to the sum of knowledge of things woodwind they sometimes show something in a different light, or even contribute a measure of levity.
If an idea is posted for the elucidation of all, then those who value the information will recognize it for what it is and be grateful for it. The fact that some don't doesn't in any way devalue it.
