I'm Honoured!

[P.Pilcher]

It was a year or so ago that disclaimers started to appear in the "signature blocks" of certain professional board members such as Paul F. I thought that this was an excellent idea so I wrote my own which appears below all my posts. I note that recently some other board members have decided to use my disclaimer, either in its original form or with minor modifications.

Thanks for the compliment everybody.

P.P.

Good idea - is there an easy way of including a "signature block"?

Yes - go into your mailbox and then into Edit signature .. type what you want, save it and bingo - it appears on every post you write !

If you are claiming the honour you have to pay for it

Although I didn't copy the Pilcher signature I am willing to demean myself for money

Lawstudent, I am thinking along the lines of;
Disclaimer: I am only a humble surveyor and what I say is probably right and wrong as I tend to sit on the fence - it may be advisable to obtain the advice of a litigation lawyer, but on the law of averages such lawyers get it right only 50% of the time. The Judge is always right, except when the appeal Judge decides he was wrong. So of all these highly qualified professionals the only one who is certain to have got it right is me, even if I got it wrong too.

Congratulations. This is quite the most cogent piece of reasoning I have seen on this forum for a long while. My only suggestion for improvement would be to avoid the "sitting on the fence" metaphor which could be worrying for potential clients who are concerned about the cost of fence repairs. How about, "What I say is both right and wrong because it is subject to such disclaimers (including this one) as to render it essentially devoid of meaning"?

Our current Prime Minister ignored International Law and invaded Iraq on false pretext.

Jonathan are you suggesting for this reason that tenant's and landlord's who are recorded on these forums as ignoring the law are budding Prime Ministers?

Are you suggesting that tenants or landlords venting their grievances on this pages reveal questionable compliance with the law are dodgy enough to become leaders of this Country
