I haven't decided how I feel about "serious" hoaxes yet, although I tend to
side with you that they can be bad.
But I have to say that you got incredibly unlucky if the first two things you
saw were both hoaxes, and both by Ben. That is extremely unlikely, the
percentage of hoax material here is way way way less than 1%.
Don't give up on LUGNET as a whole, it's an incredible resource (not the only
one, mind you, there's brickset and brickshelf and some others I can't remember
too).
