Not really. Let's review the events and weigh the facts:
You like to act like a bumpkin and give stupid advice to people on
Usenet.
You give bad advice when you have no clue where the person is located
or what their abilities are, and somehow these things are unimportant
to you.
You spout bull**** about conditions where _you_ live that is wrong.
You then call anything not in your area, or people that don't ignore
the things you do, benighted.
You make bad assumptions on pretty much everything.

So the call is...you give bad advice and don't know what you are
talking about.
Not really difficult at all to see when you look at it objectively.

At first I didn't believe you when you said you went to law school. I
have changed my opinion. You did not say you are a lawyer, you said
you went to law school, so that means either you couldn't hack it in
law school (my guess), or didn't finish for some other reason (you
couldn't hack it), or finished school and couldn't pass the bar
(pretty fair second guess), or you were a lawyer and got disbarred.

Actually I went for a year and a half (about half way). At the end of my
first year I was ranked 18th out of 193 freshmen. I came to the view that,
while your lawyer is a nice guy and mine is a prince, the rest are thieves.
So your surmise, based on incomplete information and preconceived notions is
at least as faulty as your evaluation of my contributions.


Most people have a low enough opinion of lawyers as it is, so you
would be doing the legal profession a favor by not mentioning your
failed attempt at law.

It wasn't failed; I made the Dean's List.


You would be doing everybody a favor if you thought before you started
tapping the keyboard. It's a lot to ask, I know, but why not give it
a shot - you might surprise everyone.

I've given your suggestion all the consideration it deserves and have
concluded that it would be shameful indeed to deprive those, such as
yourself, the opportunity to rise up in righteous indignation. Fulminations
don't bother me; in fact I think advanced adrenaline levels are good for
some people.

So, until someone asks what to do about a red, oozing and fungating mass on
their inner thigh (or similar), just bide your time. I'll be back with more
outlandish suggestions. But all is not lost.

In deference to your refined sensibilities, I'll try to preface my remarks
with the following prelude:

"If you have (advanced, moderate, basic) skills and observe all the legal
niceties in your jurisdiction, then the following may be considered..."

Will that satisfy you?
