How much do you trust the advice on Fluther?

I’m either a very trusting soul, or very gullible, or just adventurous. We’ll see. Thanks to Fluther, I’ve discovered several useful things, like www.posterous.com. However, reading the bad advice out there on how to get a book published makes me a little leery. That said, I took a Fluther leap of faith and booked a vacation to St. Cirq Lapopie, France, solely based on a mention right here. I also bought the travel laptop suggested when I asked on Fluther. Anyway, I anticipate good times ahead. We’ll see. Any experiences to share along these lines?
