That's a GOOD one!
Gotta tell ya, first time I ever saw the "IANAL" acronym I thought that posters were were telling others "hey, I'm anal rententive, deal with it."

Re: Why Post "I am not a lawyer...?
I don't think it's necessary...but then again...no...sorry, I can't post IANAL....LOL...oh wait...I just did...LOL
I look at it this way...if someone takes advice from an internet forum/post/blog without putting their own "thinking cap" on and then that person does something stupid/illegal/unwise because of it...well, as the saying goes..."here's your sign!"
I always get a kick out of those folks that say "well, I saw it on the internet*, it must be true."
LOL
Maybe this is a better approach, and how I look at it...think of it as the "default setting" - I don't take ANY advice from an internet forum/post/blog as LEGAL ADVICE unless the poster puts this out there - "hey, I'm a lawyer that specializes in this area and this is my opinion on this matter.." - that's just me though.
*NOTE: insert news, newspaper, TV, etc. in place of internet.
