Let's beat this horse a little further.

If you state something is your - OPINION - why wouldn't that be adequate in and of itself?

Opinion defined: A personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty

I still feel it is important to let them you the opinion given is from a person without legal training vs. a lawyer. Opinions of lawyers, LEO's and lawmakers hold more water for me vs. someone who may or may be full of beans. (Not that there aren't some of the later in that category.)

Are we all so afraid of litigation we need to post such a disclaimer ?

Am I the only one who finds this unnecessary?

Or, am I wrong and we should always post INAL to keep legal ramifications at bay?

Perhaps, if it is necessary we could start a sign up sheet stating we're not lawyers thus eliminating the need to post such disclaimers?

Opinions?

I think it should be clear that if you are giving your opinion you let them know it is coming from a person who has no formal legal backgound.

But then, that is just my personal opinion because IANAL.
