It was simply a confirmation that you and ciapk both are the "muslims" of this era, as per evidence witnessing this fact.
"Major" was appreciated because he found these books, posted references/links here and for doing so invested his time merely for the benefit of readers.
As far as my personal view is concerned, quoting references (and not posting anything) without announcing one's own conclusions may not be misdirecting. I am also of the view that readers should rely on any material after proper understanding and authentication.
Further, being a human any one can commit mistake (this is true except for Prophets A.S.) and none of scholar having whatever designation or qualification could be considered above this rule.
We just don't try to understand that such learned people (solely for the knowledge they have) are only the scholars like any other researchers/scholars on other facets of knowledge. Simply the name of a qualification/certification in "ARABIC" makes us to close down our eyes. This is wrong, I have so many times pointed out. If some one is an Aalim, his regard as Aalim is fine and if some one is Wali-Allah as well his honor in that capacity is fine.
However, every thing based upon knowledge has to be proved in all fields of knowledge with the supporting evidences and references. That's why, I have the conclusion that authentication of any thing told is not a bad thing at all. Rather, it is ORDERED in Holy Quran to all muslims to make such a search.
Fighting of one muslim with the other solely on the religious issues is the root cause of our destruction and should be avoided.
