Since "most others here" have probably not read them, that's quite
possibly true. But that observation does not counter the point being

Only if what you are telling them is, in fact, correct.
Misinformation is not helpfull.

Wakko is not trying to argue with Greg. He is trying to keep others,
who might be new here and not know any better, from wasting their
time arguing with Greg.

What makes you think Wakko Warner is not his real name? You might be
right, but I have a good friend who's real name is Dork, so I tend to
give people the benefit of the doubt.
