Quoted from flynnibus:It's status does not, but I do see now under 'secretary' it mentions involuntary. But how does that change the answers to the poster's questions?
See... you can have an actual contribution to the thread besides 'WRONG!!' - try adding value. He asked specific questions. Maybe you can afford those pinside members some pro bono work..
Quoted from RobT:If you are going to continue to play a Lawyer on Pinside, you should probably learn how to spell "judgments".
I agree with RobT. As a lawyer, I cringe when I read some of the armchair legal advice posted in these forums, even though well-intentioned. I don't mean to target Flynnibus, who contributes plenty. However, spelling errors such as "judgments" as RobT notes, coupled with omnipresent grammatical errors (such as the misuse of the apostrophe in "its"----- The word is possessive without the apostrophe, just like the personal pronouns "hers," theirs," "yours," and "ours." The word "it's" is the contraction meaning "it is" or "it has.") diminish much of the content of the message.
It can be very difficult for attorneys to offer accurate assessments of legal issues, particularly when important predicate facts are absent from the equation, as is the case with American Pinball. Nevertheless, at least the lawyer has the credentials to conduct a meaningful evaluation of the legal circumstances and implications, even when riddled with poor grammar and/or syntax. I submit that it is folly to rely upon anything less.
Every pinball enthusiast has something valuable to offer in these Pinside threads. There are a lot of smart members on this site. Some are tech gurus. Others possess business savvy. Still others have good old fashioned common sense, which is always worth sharing. Sometimes, the best way to contribute is to ask a question and then remain silent until the experts chime in.
