I always try to find at least 3 people recommending a particular solution before I consider it a possibble fix. And then I check with the experts I've found in the forums. Too many people seem to throw out answers trying to get points for giving the right answer without understanding the problem. Also always test any possible solution before applying to production server, every solution is not perfect for every environment, there are just too many variables. If it's a SQL issue I always look at these forums before Google, better chance of getting a good solution.
