This is an Opinion Blog. That means, very simply, that it expresses my personal opinion about various things that have caught my attention. Nothing that is written here should in any form be taken as advice. I do not have any medical, legal, financial or other qualifications that would enable me to offer advice. What I offer is just my opinion. Do not make any decisions based on the views expressed here unless you have first consulted the relative experts, and have determined for yourself what is the right course of action.
Personally, I find it ridiculous that I should even need to include a disclaimer of this kind. However, I recognize that there are some people who would be stupid enough to go and do something that I have said in sarcasm or jest, have the inevitable bad consequences, then hold me responsible. So, let me say it again very clearly: I am not responsible for your decisions, you are. Be sure you make them wisely!
