As for Mr. Puleo, doesn't his profession require sources and documentation?
I see in later posts this was addressed. The key here is "profession" - paid to take on the burden of hunting up the data and transferring it to the screen. It's a lot of work; and usually it is the honey that gets more flys than the s#it.
Wiki-anything and blogged history is about useless for research as it is all heresay piles of unsubstantiated information with unknown dilligence to accuracy behind it. Basically it's a good start and certainly well worth the price of admission. Statistically, if you visit enough sites you will get the group-think averages and can arrive at good information . . . if you choose the right sites. :wink: But if you poll few sites you might get only the bad data.
And not all books are excellent sources. I have one by Merrill Lindsay that is pretty suspect.
