Default Determining good advice for beginners

How do you, as a beginner, determine that the advice your being given here on this Beginner's Forum, is sound advice? If I were a beginner, this would seem like the million dollar question to me. Out of the many responses which the typical question generates here on the Beginners Forum. I see many responses which should never be posted, as the poster is completely wrong in his opinions!

When you go to the flying field to learn how to fly, it is a far better idea to listen to who the fliers suggest is a good instructor, observe their abilities and if they are available to teach you, you hook up with and listen to what they have to say. Having done some instructing and understanding the process involved, I would get angry, and naturally should have, when someone else starts stepping all over my instruction process! I am very careful not to get involved in other instructors students, as you are usurping the teachings they have in place! There are many ways to skin a cat, however, to skin your first one, you need to have one instructor tell you how he does it.

You guys who come on here, asking questins need to know there are many great people here who truly are experts in this hobby. There are also many enthuisiastic people who can come across as experts, who are not!
