Well, given my rather naive comment above, I have to assume that I fall into this category to some extent. What would you suggest people do differently?
Be skeptical about everything you read online and offline (but moreso online), check up on sources rather than to use citations helpfully provided to underpin some bit of information and in general read until the cows come home to make sure you have a solid foundation from which to make your own judgment, especially when it comes to history and any attempts to re-write it.
