The whole point of online forums is the exchange of information. If someone is going around giving out wrong information, they need to be advised and the correct info posted.
Sure it would save a whole lot of forum space to just "let it go". I know I'm right an thats all that matters, right? Wrong.
The problem with just letting it go is that then you have X number of people who see the incorrect info, see that no one disputed it, and now thats "good" info in their mind, that they are going to one day pass on to someone else, and so on and so forth. It becomes a vicious cycle and has got to be stopped whenever its seen, even though it does at times detract from a thread, its a necessary part of online forums.....
