no time to repeat, but the tl;dr was:
— given the samaritan laws and private protections for unpaid public use of their lands that are common, why aren’t lawyers similarly protected from claims made due to unsolicited, unpaid advice?
— if boilerplate disclaimers in your responses are insufficient protection, how about a ‘captcha’ sort of script that quarantines messages, and forces people seeking advice to agree that they’re not your client and you’re not their attorney until you decide otherwise.

Throw in a bunch of platitudes about how helpful you were when I asked a question, how helpful a few other fellow bloggers with JD’s were, and that I still appreciate all of that advice, attention and help. About how this is 21st century pro bono. And that I hope you figure a way through.

Sorry to hear about your wife; I wish you the best in unimaginable circumstances.
