This is a quote from a post by dspp. You can find it in his history, it’s dated 12.08.2018:
“7. Don't believe anything you read on a board; make your own decisions; never fall in love with a share.”
Now if you take the first clause literally there wouldn’t really be any point in reading these boards, however we know or assume that they can be a source of useful information particularly if the poster provides a link to reliable corroboration or a news report. There can also be genuine insight, and lots of opinion and waffle. Perhaps dspp should have said “Don't believe everything you read on a board”
Some posters have credibility and thereby create a feeling of trustworthiness.
You say “ I'd trust Pisces and Diego”. No disrespect to these two posters who I have no issues with and are probably genuine but you are placing trust in the word of two people you have never met, one of whom has only been a member since September this year. I am prepared to accept posts by Pisces and Diego as likely to being credible, but if you ask me are they trustworthy, I would not reply with an unequivocal yes.
As an example we have a poster on this board who has turned out to be a fraud. He arrived on this board in September achieved some credibility, since when we have had hints that things are not going well, unsubstantiated claims of impending disaster constant reminders of risk interspersed with innocuous posts but all intended to undermine confidence in the Company. And now after all the matey stuff resorts to cheap insults. You know who. When did the penny drop?
