For what it's worth, Slowboat did take this up with Jeff a year or more ago. And posted a thread here on TF on the subject as well. All were met with the same response.
The problem with most internet supplied input is that you have no information on the qualifications of the person making the entry. Someone who is a licensed captain with 40 years experience is likely to provide more accurate and pertinent information than someone out on their first boat ride. However, anyone can post an entry and to all appearances to the reader, they carry the same weight ("Hey, its on Active Captain, it must be accurate!"). Even if the poster lists their qualifications, there is no way to know if the listed qualifications are true.
