oh come on, nobody is going to mistake a comment on the internet for legal advice (or if they do, it'll be a learning experience).
adding "IANAL" has gotten just as out of hand. the vast majority of the population are not lawyers and therefore the vast majority of people on the internet are also not lawyers. so why do you insist on calling this out? to draw an analogy here, it's like lawyers adding non-competes to contracts. maybe we can stop adding IANAL to comments first. enough with the ass covering.
- skybrian 8y agoThis is my way of doubting that the post is accurate without claiming expertise myself. What do you do? People are constantly saying things that are wrong about the law. Reminding ourselves of this and being humble about our knowledge (through the use of disclaimers) doesn't seem like a bad thing. Letting confident assertions stand does.
