This is an increasingly litigious age and the people who make it so
are - I hope - going to inhabit a special circle of hell. Slight
exaggeration there but the canceling of a pancake race for
schoolchildren, the taking down of hanging baskets in case someone
gets hurt (they never have been) the threat of felling chestnut trees
in case someone gets hurt by a falling conker (never happened, ever)
etc. etc. makes me think that not only have I missed making a
fortune as a lawyer or a wimpy litigant, there must be many hoping to
emulate being employed by a modern day Aeschylus!

Above all, in terms of present and future events, do NOT take the
advice of net lawyers. Not. You have no idea of their credentials,
many have an axe to grind, many think they 'know' because they've
made a thorough-going nuisance of themselves (and probably utter
idiots, too) I have known people on the Internet claim to be doctors
and lawyers (both qualis) who turned out to be school assistants and
others who have claimed to be Professors of English who were car
salesmen.
I cannot imagine anything more potentially damaging than believing
such specialised advice from the net. DON'T DO IT!

That is a very sweeping statement Sacha and somewhat cynical. Of course with
any advice given here it needs to be taken with considerable care and should
not be considered definitive. Having said that I agree that many of the
answers given have been littered with errors and omissions. That does not
mean to say that all the points are worthless. Are we to assume that all the
gardening answers are to be treated as perfect? There are plenty of dangers
in the garden if people take flawed advice!
