Totaly agree with you. I'm always a bit embarassed to tell people that I get medical information from the internet (or worse yet, internet message boards), but I tell you that there is no more reliable source for information than places like these. After a lifetime of dealing with ignorant doctors, I have come to realize that the combination of anecdotal experience (from websites like this one) and first hand research (actually going back and sorting through the studies to figure out which make sense (not many of them) is the only way to find reliable healthcare information. It certainly beats how the doctors themselves get their information, from the always attractive pharmaceutical sales reps who dish out free meds and biased advice.
