Disclaimer

A sometimes overlooked but important note to make. Generally this goes without saying, but if not said it leaves doors open. So let’s close them shall we?

In my own words: The information put fourth by me on this blog is the personal opinion at the point in time it’s written of my own thoughts and expressions. In no way are any of the words posted a reflection of my family, friends, and or past, present, or future employers. All posted information is my personal opinion at the given time the information is posted. This means that prior to and after the posted information my personal opinion might and could be completely different from what is expressed at that time. If the already stated words are not enough, please, continue reading…

I make no representations as to accuracy, completeness, currentness, suitability, or validity of any information on this site and will not be liable for any errors, omissions, or delays in this information or any losses, injuries, or damages arising from its display or use. All information is provided on an as-is basis. This is a personal weblog. The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, friends, and family. In addition, my thoughts and opinions change from time to time. I consider this a necessary consequence of having an open mind. The information is intended to provide a semi-permanent point in time snapshot and manifestation of the various memes running around my brain, and as such any thoughts and opinions expressed within out-of-date posts may not be the same, nor even similar, to those I may hold today. I’m one of several Googlers who answer questions online. If I post something here that you find helpful as you build or manage your web presence, that’s wonderful. But when push comes to shove: This is my personal blog. The views expressed on these pages are mine alone and not those of my employer, family, or friends. The information in this blog is provided “AS IS” with no warranties, and confers no rights. This blog does not represent the thoughts, intentions, plans or strategies of my employer, friends, or family. It is solely my opinion. Feel free to challenge me, disagree with me, or tell me I’m completely nuts in the comments section of each blog entry, but I reserve the right to delete any comment for any reason whatsoever (abusive, profane, rude, or anonymous comments). So keep it polite, please. This is a blog. That fact means nothing. It is not a peer-reviewed journal, a final archive of my writing, a sponsored publication, or the product of gatekeeping and editing. That does mean something. It means that while the ideas and thoughts are often vital and the product of a long gestational period, the writing itself is not. It is essentially as it came from the keyboard: spontaneous, unproofed, unrevised, and corrected afterward only when necessary to address mistakes that grossly effect the intent. Where such changes have been made they are sometimes, but not always, noted. It would be distinctly unwise – not to mention uncharitable – to play connect-the-dots with my physical life, work, and my “life of the mind,” as scanty as either might be. My attitude, my reaction to ideas, your grade (good or bad), the length and tone of my discussion at the coffee pot, the intensity and duration of my lovemaking, the time it took for me to return your letter or email, and the quality and quantity of my response to you in any medium are probably not tied to anything you read here. While every caution has been taken to provide my readers with the most accurate information and honest analysis, please use your discretion before making any decisions based on the information in this blog. I will not compensate you in any way whatsoever if you ever happen to suffer a loss, inconvenience, and or damage because of or while making use of information in this blog. I may keep updating old posts on a regular basis and I am not bound to explicitly state all corrections made, if any are made.
