How do you know what I'd do? (do you realise writing in upper case is
considered shouting; isn't that rude? If you want to emphasise something
using bold is probably more polite.)

In fact you've just demonstrated that you have no idea what I'd do - why
on earth would I blindly follow advice given to me by a total stranger?
I'd want to check it out, particularly if I was being given conflicting
advice. I'd use that advice as a basis for checking elsewhere. OTOH if 20
people gave me the same advice the balance of probability is it's
reasonably accurate but there are no guarantees. Eventually, as I got to
'know' people (as much as you can know someone who is just a keyboard), I
might begin to trust their advice but, again, there are no guarantees -
anyone could spoof an advisor's address or they might be having an off
day.
