I'm explaining the reasons why I think a poster may feel the need to state a disclaimer. There's no ruckus.
Anna Marie, and here I always thought you worked for Tim Horton's (or owned a large chunk of their stock). [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/wink.gif[/img]

I never know how serious MommaBear's disclaimers are, and maybe they're actually serious, but they do have an element of entertainment value in them for me--especially the variant ones.
I've seen a few others, and I've probably posted a few, too, albeit not clever in any way, just to point out that I really have no official advice. But you're right--we are all just coming here as people affected with this allergy trying to learn from each other.
But I try not to take anything we say here too seriously--unless I find that it's really good advice. Then I take it to heart in no time flat.
Yes, that makes sense. I can understand health care practitioners feeling a need to post a disclaimer. I guess I just caught a bunch of threads that had them all at once and thought things had changed dramatically here.
Just to let everyone know, I would never sue anyone from this board. I take everything in from all sources, including doctors and specialists and process it and use it according to my son's needs. Believe me I've had some dodgy advice from so-called specialists, like the consultant pediatrician who gave me some pills when son was 1 and told me to mix them up in some yoghurt to give him. This 2 minutes after telling me that my son could die from anything with dairy in it. Then I took the pills home and read that they should never be given to anyone under the age of two. Well, he never got the pills.

Nah.... nothing's changed dramatically. Same old same old. LOL!
I'm glad you decided to come back and check things out and I hope you feel more comfortable about posting. There's still lots of great info here... [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
Gotta say that was great reading -- better than the normal newspaper (thanks for the link Mommabear).
I never even thought about the disclaimers, just thought it was part of a persons style - lots of people have something at the bottom of their post. If someone starts out with one, I just figure, that again, it is just part of how they talk. The whole notion of sueing someone for something on this site seems wierd to me -- but I guess anything is possible, so if someone feels the need to add a disclaimer, by all means do. For the most part, I just pass over them, unless they get changed up a bit - which sometimes they do now and again.
I too just thought it was a way of expressing personality and I often chuckled about those.
Dont tell me any differently because life is much more fun when you chuckle.
Hey maybe that could be my line at the end.
