Never believe the Net

The thing that impresses me most about the web is how much information is available; but the thing that impresses me second-most is how much of it is wrong, and how hard it can be to tell the difference.
For example, in some web-based forum someone quoted the last three lines of "The Road Not Taken" and asked what the title of the poem was. The first reply said: "The name of the poem is Two Roads Diverge...."
Further meditation on Frost, while I'm thinking of it: I'm always amused when looking at high school yearbooks (of the sort that allow the students to include a brief note or quotation) at the pages and pages of people who claim to have taken the road less traveled by. "We are all individuals!"
