You're doing a thoroughly good job of playing one on HN. Thank you for a very informative analysis.

- cookiecaper 10y agoThanks, I appreciate the kind words, and I'm glad that someone finds my take informative. As a sibling commenter points out, it's easy to sound credible by throwing words around without really understanding the nuances. It's always nerve-wracking when someone may take you a little too seriously. I've learned I need to put two disclaimers on my "playing lawyer" posts because just one wasn't enough to avoid the ire of some people who I assume are real lawyers. ;) And to be honest, if I were a real lawyer, I would still probably want to "IANAL" disclaim most of these speculative/navel-gazing posts anyway.
