not at all
I meant it. Forums are ideal for passing on knowledge like that.

when it is based on experience, having a wide base to draw on is the best thing, particularly when everyone is a bit different.

But as successful as it is, they shouldn't take on the role of moral guardians

Are you suggesting that mumsnet isn't in fact chock full to the rafters
with people who think that, because they've managed to squeeze a sprog out, their opinion is somehow worth more than other peoples'?

Not entirely.
Plenty of people just talking inane non-child drivel. Much like on here.

I maintain that the worst thing about the internet is that it has made ordinary people think
that anyone gives a shit about what they have to say.

in fact, the same goes for celebrities too.
