This always annoys me when people put "disclaimers" on their posts. IANAL, so tired of hearing that one. It's pointless because even if you were a lawyer, you cannot meaningfully comment on a case without the details, jurisdiction, circumstance, etc. Next, it's meaningless because is anyone going to blindly bow down and obey if you state the opposite? "Yes, I AM a lawyer, you do not need to pay taxes, they are unconstitutional." Thirdly, when they "disclaimer" themselves as working at google, that's not a dis-claimer, thats a "claimer", asserting the affirmative. I know their companies require them to not speak for the company without permission, but I hardly ever hear that one, usually its just some useless self-disclosure that they might be biased because they work there. Ok, who isn't biased? What bugs me overall is that it's usually vapid mimicry of a phrase they don't even understand.
