A new feature bringing you highlights from the mediabistro.com discussion boards. This week:

belinda: "Forget 'experts' Web sites. People pay to be listed as experts on them. It is a form of p.r./promotion."

Stressed: "I often look up books on the subject matter on Amazon and pick out a recent one one that has been written by some university academic with a string of letters after their name."
