Maybe a good approach would be that if someone _thinks_ they know the
answer but is not sure, post if they want, but ask for input from our more
experienced members. If it's a wild guess, at least it should be labeled
such.<g>
And if someone posts something that _isn't_ correct, they shouldn't feel
insulted if someone corrects them. That's how we all learn! I don't think
there's _anyone_ on the list who knows all there is to know about aquatic
plants.
