Marty,
Unfotunately there is a flaw in using the internet for technical research. At least with printed media, there is some sense of hope that information presented has been reviewed by peers on a subject before ever being published. With the internet, everyone is an expert, and as humans we tend to gravitate towards and trust what WE want to hear. There are no "online" credientals, we are all equal. Bad ideas as well as good ones get promoted and it turns into a sea of confusion. There still is a need for printed, reviewed and trusted media.
