Why is the acronym necessary at all? We're all "just posters" unless positively identified with a stronger qualification. Every post is Caveat Lector, all the way from Rick to the just-barely-wrong posts.
It's a scary tossup between the self-deprecation, and the Freudian sight-gag. If I had to pin it down, I'd blame Nixon's "I Am Not A Crook".
Wouldn't it be great if SOMEONE turned around and released it. The PHB types would be crushed. "We TRIED to kill it! We trashed the company! We laid off everyone. We closed the company. Now we're trying to collect our Short Sells. Where the HELL did the gamecome from???"
Nope. No addendum for you. I already used you for 1,000 citations, in your original erroneous post, so it's now too much trouble to reverse them all. (/~ LayeredTone)
More soberly, I think you yourself just proved an important part. Wiki's famous policy *politely* calls "Original Research" to give itself the authority to reverse the most outlandish rumors/gossip/mayhem. I'd really like a feature here for "MySlashdot" to RightClick/MakeTrollInvisible instead of being "held captive" with it still being present at -1. One step away from the famous bathroom posts, is the whole swath of quasi-benevolent stuff that kicks around for 7 posts until someone finally piledrives it with a +7 refutation.
But the "honest case" means that either we drag ourselves into documenting every word ever, or sometimes we quit at the "good enough" stage, until for one particular famous case it is not Good Enough.
Oh see, now I have to Cite something. Here's one of the piledriver ThreadEnder Informative posts below me.

I like my little library inprint edition. It nicely displays color and utility on my shelf.
But newspapers are a print disaster. Floppy, yucky layouts full of miscellanea on skip-pages, sorted by day instead of topic....Then you get to throw out a metric ton each month.
I'd seriously consider one of those readers if it kept all the dailies on tap so if you wanted to review your notes you could turn back to October 2004.
Because Today's +1Informative mods STAY even after tomorrow's "retraction article" which says "disregard yestrerday, it was all made up by the source."
Blending content here AttemptingAWin, Rotten Tomatoes has a recap of Marvel movies. Look at the entry for Ghost Rider.
"...like Daredevil, Ghost Rider went down as a critical dud whose respectable performance at the box office was overshadowed by the beating it took from writers"
Really now!? So the public liked the movies, while certain pundits playing their own game were paid to kill the movie if they could?
I heard that they were some PHB at NBC's idea, and that they were dispensed with when possible later....
I almost need a new sig. Comments like that are Quantum for me. They are either true or false, and I won't know since I don't have the time to look it up in detail.

Not that either. "Disclosing whereabouts of officers would endanger enforcement".
Nice pair of venting posts though.
Don't presume that just yet.
We have 8 years worth of "the police can do anything - no one else can mirror their stunts."

Normally those were the elements I ignored when advising bosses, but they're scarily relevant here.
I'll riff your theme.

I'll reply to you.
I want a search engine for people who *DO* RTFA's.
Standard engines give you SEO'd junk.
If you'd said "look like a goat" you'd be at +5.
Or this trick:
"1. Do you think we should discuss MS's trashing of ODF?
2. Do you think OOXML is a viable standard?"

Books present a coherent argument.
Newspapers would be WAY faster if you clicked a link "to read more" rather than following from A3 to C7.

NewsSnips can potentially revolutionize govt.
Normally Govt is "closed door/access only".
But it would be funny if they didn't lock it down to start.
