Along the lines of this thread, I have read a few posts (here and otherwise) in other threads about how some people feel the discussions become too technical. Personally, the highly technical answers are usually the only way I learn anything new from these threads and I enjoy them. But I understand how it can be way over the heads of the average DIYer.
Point being, try to consider the audience. Give both a basic answer for the noobs and a detailed response for the advanced. Also, offer cautions when you know that any advice carries risks. There are many solutions that are fine 90% of the time, but not advisable in the remaining 10%. (Uncoated, aluminum wheels comes immediately to mind.)
A tip for the less advanced people; look for advice to be repeated by multiple sources before trying. The tried and trued methods are often repeated, while the experiment someone did that miraculously worked will only appear once.
