There are different levels of trust. I trust most posters to post information that is accurate from their perspective. I'm sure the majority do not have an agenda. I trust most people in my real life to do what they think is best. Unfortunately, that's a big concern for me.
Example: My mother had a legal document, will, and P/A granting me sole authority for her health care and funeral arrangements. Even though I was an "apostate" she knew I would honour her wishes even if I didn't agree with them. She despised everything Catholic, and was afraid of my sister imposing a Catholic service at her funeral. When she died 3 years ago I was involved in an accident on the highway when going to the funeral home to make arrangements. While I was delayed with the accident my very Catholic sister arranged to have a huge crucifix beside my mom's casket, as well as arranging for a Catholic priest to perform a service at the funeral home and gravesite. I finally got to the funeral home late, but no one told me these arrangements were made. I didn't find out until the viewing at the funeral home the next day. Overtired, distraught from my mom's death, and banged up from the accident I was too drained to make a scene in the funeral home in front of so many people.
My sister was aware of our mothers wishes, and deliberately disrespected them. I'd be a fool to think she'd ever respect mine. I cringe when I think of what might happen to me or my assets should I become incapacitated even temporarily.
I've strayed off topic a bit, but there's a point to it. If I can't trust the people closest to me, how can I trust people on a discussion board?
