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.

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?

Or perhaps a better quesiton is what the actual loading it created since you
labeled it as "consuming" the list's available bandwidth.
