RE:RE:Are debentureholders being shortchanged by $12 million?Sure, use the disclaimer anytime. I did notice a mistake, though, so see my correction below. Remember, though, that it is not a license to say anything. It helps if you try to keep things accurate. Also helps, when expressing a thought that could do reputational damage, to also state the reasons for your criticism and any supporting evidence. Also, in any contentious sentence, try to use qualifying words and phrases like in my opinion, possibly, perhaps, I think, and I believe. Also, if you want to share a doubt or contention, it might help to express it as a question like: Do others here think it possible that ... ? If you have a long post and the disclaimer is at the end, it is best to reference it near the start.
After I made the post yesterday, I noticed that I used a double negative in this sentence: "None of it is intended to be taken as fact and should not be considered reliable." Here is a corrected version:
Important disclaimer: All the above is intended to express my opinion only. The reader is cautioned that it may contain figurative language including hyperbole. I am not an expert on anything discussed, and it is possible and perhaps likely that I am ill informed on certain aspects. All content is presented for fair comment and discussion purposes only. None of it is intended to be taken as fact. As such, it is all not reliable. So do not use any of it to make decisions or judgements or to form opinions, and do not use it as the basis of any action. If you do plan to form decisions, judgements, or opinions or to take action on anything discussed, first seek your own independent, expert advice.
