Mauri:

Do you mean to say:

Even if we would rather not acknowledge it, we have to
think for ourselves. There is something worthwhile in the
postings on the list. If willing, we can learn from others.
Some materials contain errors, disinformation, and result
from troll-like activity. Even so, we can get to their
bottom line and find what little value they contain.

(I took this as a challenge to see if I could sort out
what you said in the sentence above.)
