Well I found it somewhat interesting that despite the fact that I was the only
person to co-author a submission to the IPR working group with an actual lawyer
I still received comments of the 'amateur lawyering kind' from folk who were
not lawyers and whose legalistic opinions had been flat contradicted by those
who are.
So without more ado:
First Law of Internet Lawyering: Anyone who accuses another of being
insufficiently qualified to state a legal opinion will in the same thread state
a legal opinion that they are not qualified to make.
Second Law of Internet Lawyering: Both opinions will be wrong
Third Law of Internet Lawyering: It won't matter.

Actually, to be fair, I don't think this can be laid at the feet of

worst total nonsense.
I love technololgists who claim their view of Law is the right on. Are you
suggesting we should resolve this in a court of law Dave?
All of which raises the deeper question of why serious people are
consuming the ietf mailing list posting responses to it.
Or perhaps a better quesiton is what the actual loading it created since you
labeled it as "consuming" the list's available bandwidth.
