Arm chair lawyers and doctors. These are people who likely only barely made it out of high school but because they know someone who had a legal or medical problem, they are suddenly walking authorities on the subjects. They usually give unsolicited and bad advice.

They are not as good as arm chair psychologist. I'll be glad to tell you why that bothers you Alice. Lay down

There's your problem Alice. You deal with REAL people. If you never leave the virtual world you can eliminate all your problems. Told you I could fix your problem. You're not dealing with an amatuer. As payment for my service sent 1 fried chicken in a grease stained brown paper bag to Studedude, Illinois, USA. Fex Ex would be best

Next advice please... I can do medical and legal. please pick a number and stand in line I will be with you in a moment.

Medical advice, "put a band-aid on it, take 2 aspirin and call me if it get's worse"...
Legal advice, screw-em, er I mean sue-em, it's the American way"...
