If someone asks on an open forum for opinions about a prospective purchase, then that is exactly what they should be prepared to receive. It's up to them to sift through all of the information they get from a combination of these opinions and their own research in order to arrive at an informed conclusion.

If someone asks for my opinion, I can choose to respond (or not) without accepting any responsibility for what that person decides to do with the information I do or don't provide. That is - as long as I don't represent myself as as an acknowledged expert or authority in that particular field. Once you present yourself as such (as opposed to an ordinary person with some knowledge and experience) then there is some reasonable expectation that the information you supply should at least be factually sound. Even then however, people must be prepared to accept full responsibility for the decisions and choices that they themselves ultimately make.
