>>Please stop trying to argue with me dude. Im just trying to help him with his decission.
I might argue 'YOUR OPINION', if you had an opinion on the subject.
Look, if all you are doing is regurgitating what you have heard or read, then state that, ie:
I don't have any real experience on this subject, but I've read this, this, and this, about the subject. I've also heard that, that, and whatever.
My whole point has been and continues to be that the uninformed new chameleon owner comes to the forum for some good advice. He does not know how much REAL experience you have, and if all you are doing is simply repeating what you have heard or read somewhere, without any real first-hand experience, then you are presenting yourself to this new person as someone who DOES have the experience that person is seeking.
Let's take this from another angle. Let's look at an example using skateboarding. If this was a skateboarding forum, and someone came in asking about the proper techniques to use to perform tricks, what he's looking for is someone with some experience in performing tricks. It would probably be best if Tony Hawks answered his questions about skateboarding techniques. The new skateboard is probably not getting the proper advice in techniques if he's getting advice from Tony Little (who snuck onto the skateboarding forum, and is now dispensing advice, thinking that if he knows so much about his Gazelle, then he can just read up on skating and start handing out advice to the noobs), versus Tony Hawk. In fact, it could be quite dangerous! The world of skateboarding is much different than exercise machines, although they both give you an exercise.
Now I know this is silly. We're not on the skating forum. And Tony Hawks is too rich to go on any forums anyways. But I don't know how else to drive the point home- simply repeating what you have read somewhere without having first hand experience is VERY harmful in our little world here.
Eric, I want to hear about your own successes. Truly. I want to read your funny stories, pictures, and whatever you choose to share with the forum. But please, until you get some first hand experience, lay off on the dispensing of advice.
