Default Have you had an electrical accident in the garden?

Well, yes, but it is MORE reliable than the vast majority of the
rest of the Web and most books. Quite a lot of serious experts
have looked at it and found that it is about as good as the average
quality encyclopaedia or academic book or paper. As I said, that's
a pretty damning indictment of the state of academia, but let that
pass.

Of course, if you were to propose a general knowledge test to
exclude those likely to be misled from using the Internet, it
would become a lot quieter :-) Most graduates would fail it,
incidentally.
