Yeah, well, as I said when I prefaced the link, one of the reasons I'd never bothered to post a link to that Web site before was because their info isn't always particularly accurate. Though what they did write about Ivan Kaye's career and the background of the Beckenham Place mansion was correct - I made sure of that before I posted the link - and as I also said, that info was the reason I shared the link in this topic.
And as for misinformation, no one here more than I has probably lamented the fact that so much that gets written about DS or its related subjects is not accurate. And I think you've hit the nail on the head exactly as to the reason for that - it's laziness, pure and simple. Though that being said, I don't know if we can go so far as to say that just because some entity gets one fact wrong, that calls everything into question. I seriously doubt there are any newspapers. magazines, TV news/entertainment outlets, Web sites, or even individuals who haven't gotten something wrong on more than one occasion. But that doesn't mean that everything they say is questionable. It's all a matter of degree, reliability, and a track record built up over time.
Now with regard to that Web site, their track record is spotty at best. Which is why it's not likely that many more links to them will ever be posted on the forum again. And something that's actually quite ironic is that that Web site's accuracy should be called out over something they wrote about KLS when her PomPress DS books contain a variety of inaccuracies...
