I agree with the sentiment that having knowledge readily available is nothing but a good thing.
The down side of having this information available is becoming to dependent on "google" or "wikipedia" (to greatly over simplify the info available on the net) is missing out on the doing, the experience.
Someone (I think VF) said something about motivation being a common factor. YES YES YES. When you can just read about something you might lose the motivation to gain that knowledge through experience.
This is why people who read the book usually think the book is better then the movie, in a roundabout way.
Best metaphor I can give you:
I give the same Dresser unassembled to two people.
Person A is a carpenter and is given no instructions and no previous knowledge of piece of furniture.
Person B has never assembled any furniture but is allowed to select the dresser to be assembled by both and is given detailed instructions as well as a laptop PC.
Who is your money on to finish assembling it first?

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
