In terms of what? I am not representing myself as a lawyer and thereby stating that what I am saying may be knowledgeable, but it's not legal advice, so take it FWIW. Anyone who went to court and said, "I did this because a guy on the internet told me so" is not likely to do too well anyway.
Even if I WERE a lawyer, I would still have to say it is not legal advice, because no lawyer-client relationship exists.
