1) get both good AND bad advice
2) visit the message board enough to know who has a solid reputation and
3) either BEGIN WITH or FOLLOW UP WITH your own research.
If someone is too damn lazy to google/ask questions/find solid research on what they are asking about, then in my opinion they get what they deserve.
My point is this - It is NOT, NOT my responsibility to provide you with proof that I am certified or licensed to give you advice. YOU are asking the question, YOU are looking for advice. It is therefore YOUR responsibility to make sure the advice is solid by looking for supporting research.
If you want that kind of proof, find a sports doctor and nutritionist in your area and get off your pocketbook to pay for the assurance. You'll find that most people who are eager to PROVE their abilities also like to CHARGE for access to their products/knowledge/etc.
Personally, I am just happy as a clam to absorb as much knowledge as I can from these boards, as they are filled with people whom I believe have real world experience. Then I augment that knowledge by doing my own research. Takes a bit of time, but saves my financial resources for more important things... like chicken and protein powder.
I must recharge, but great post worth bumping.
