Why are all the answers with legal advice filled with phrases such as "this is not legal advice" and "I am not a lawyer"? Is it illegal for non lawyers to give legal advice in the US?
It's a little funny how this applies to legal advice, and not, say, medical advise. People on HN will happily report on experiments with Ritalin, mushrooms and sleeping patterns, they will encourage you to quit your job and do a start-up - but "You should write a courteous, factual reply and talk to a lawyer" has to come with a long disclaimer :)
