Don't trust stuff you read on forums.
- jsprinkles 14y agoCouldn't agree more. What do you think about specifically mentioning legal advice?
- nirvana 14y agoI find it astounding that you lied about what I said, managed to derail discussion, and are now trying to loop PG into making it verboten to talk about any legal issues at all. Since I didn't give any legal advice[1], but you constantly insisted I did, what you're really lobbying for is the power to shut people up who talk about laws. [1] Other than "get a lawyer". The topic of the post was how doing research might get lawyers interested because he'd been turned down so far.
- pg 14y agoWill you guys please stop?
- ricefield 14y agoA good reminder for those of us who practically live on the internet. edit: But I think OP is also concerned about the liability created for ones giving the advice, not just welfare of the ones receiving it. A guideline would help keep these advice givers out of trouble
- larrys 14y agoWho can forget Pierre Salinger: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9901E0D7153AF93BA25753C1A9629C8B63&pagewanted=all http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9901E0D7153AF... "But later in life, Mr. Salinger proved far less adroit in dealing with the new medium of the Internet, publicizing what turned out to be a bogus document that Trans World Airlines Flight 800 had been shot down off Long Island in 1996 by a Navy missile gone awry. The episode badly damaged his credibility and bewildered some of his oldest friends."
