I am going to actually agree with you that no ONE source of info is 100 percent accurate or entirely comprehensive, therefore I recomend examining the source material the listed on the site in question.

Wiki, like the print encyclopedia should be used as a reference or gateway source, as encyclopedias site the in-print source material, Wiki does the same in most of it's articles, and yes I do check them all out.

If you dispute Snopes, they will allow you to email the site owners and they will in turn research the info provided and if it so warrants it, they will revise their classification.

I also read a lot of print ( books, newspapers such as the Wall Street journal, USA today, articles, news magazines, time, newsweek, the economists, etc)and when I am still confused or need further clarification about a paticularly complex issue, I will seek out a local expert in the field and talk to them.

So yes always consider the source on anything, do the research, and if you or anyone else can prove I am wrong on anything I say by showing me accredited, overwhelming evidence, I will admit I am wrong publically.

I always accept defeat with grace.

Take care TJ
