An instructive anecdote: somebody I know told me he once needed the definitive list of some websites. He posted a question on the relevant online forum, but it fell on deaf ears. After some days, he replied to his own posting saying he had found the list and included the list in his reply. He knew the list was probably not current, but it served its purpose: right away he got an angry response pointing out his list was completely wrong with a link to the up-to-date list.
