	Just a note regarding care and feeding of SMEs:  a statement that the
question is still open is perfectly okay and motivates me to make time to
answer, sarcasm and complaint usually do not.  I am choosing to assume that
the sarcasm I felt in the opening of the post was unintended and the request
for more assistance is sincere.  Offerings of fine chocolate are always
appropriate but are certainly easier in person.

<How should you secure these data and show to users these data are
totally reliable?  ...By implementing an ISO 9000 system? >

	Yes if you would use an atom bomb to rebuild a chicken coop -- overkill and
not appropriate (and ultimately ineffective).  The best quality management
system (ISO) cannot make up for sloppy data, and as somebody else recently
pointed out, ISO does _not_ guarantee good product or good data (and is not
intended to do so).

	Use the basic rules of good writing from English 101 -- quote accurately
and always cite your source.  Use the basic rules of good writing from
Journalism 101 -- make your own best effort to use accurate sources.

	I wasn't sure you would like this answer, which is why I didn't post it
earlier.  As long as you insist, though, here it is.  I do hope it helps.
