And it happens more often than you would expect, and not just in personal blogs.

Agreed! Sometimes you just want to read stuff online and don't want to have to download a PDF to get basic information. PDFs are great for extended reading, but any questions consumers have upfront should be in an html page. Thanks for stopping by! Our next tip is October 28th - so stay tuned! Jacki! Wow, just wow. That's all I can say. (Okay, I'll say some more.) Many people should consider checking Snopes before forwarding any email to all their friends, but to post information to a blog without vetting it first?! Yowzer. Then, to delete a comment - not because it is spam or a personal attack, but just because it is criticism? What's that slam? Could it be authenticity and credibility walking out the door? :-) Good grief. Thanks for sharing. Hi Doreen! Agreed!

Get this: A person has been on social media for quite some time promoting her new book. It takes quite a bit of effort to write a book so kudos to her until....I read her blog post today. She posted a "useful tips list". I thought they were a little wonky and within 30 seconds pulled the entire list up on Snopes where they were listed as (you guessed it) urban myths. She has lost 100% of her credibility as a professional, at least in my view. I posted a comment on her blog that she should check with Snopes and she deleted the comment.
