a large part of the internet, has no idea how to stretch properly.
No way, man. The Internet is quite bendy.

I used to stretch before every run, usually 15 to twenty minutes prior. About a month ago I just started walking briskly ten minutes before my run and about ten minutes after my run. During the walks, I do periods of high knees, leg kicks and duck walks. I feel that alot of my injuries (pains) have gone away. Before I was always battling something. this last month all has bee good.

I read somewhere that you should not stretch before you run. Is this true and if so why?
