Oh wait, don't forget: "A .380 in your pocket is better than a .45 in your safe."

Any others? Going once....going twice...

That's because, like every other internet forum, we are in a giant echo chamber of catch phrases and expert opinion, not based on actual experience, but usually based on the poster's reading of numerous other posts on internet foums.Perhaps being able to use popular catch phrases and render expert opinion makes the poster a legend in their own mind

Several reasons perhaps:

1. Some members of internet forums post to every thread, regardless. Perhaps it's about personal post count, desire for attention, ego, who knows.

2. There are more "experts" on internet forums than there are in the actual field being discussed. As an example, I would venture to guess that 99% of those on LTC type forums have never had to "use" a firearm in self defense, but that does not stop them from telling others the "best way" to do it.

3. It would probably be pretty boring if everyone posted what they actually "knew" rather than just rendering an opinion.
