This is so spot on, and I guess sometimes people forget that internet forums are to be taken with a grain of salt and you should do your own research.

The one thing I dislike the most is the IANAL - "Don't take this as legal advice" disclaimer that I see abused. I mean, really, who is naive enough to take random legal advice from strangers?

"IANAL and this is not legal advice" is not meant to help naive strangers. It's meant as a defense against a potential lawsuit. https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/683/usa-is-i-am-not-...

Having recently read some stories over at darwinawards.com, I can think of quite a few people who would seem a lot less naïve, if all they had done was taking legal advice from strangers...
