    I saw this article linked to Drudge and it had some interesting analysis regarding the legal risk of posting to a blog.

    I would be interested to hear some comments on how much risk you are willing to accept when making a post to this site or any other.

    Been a topic before. I think of these blogs as water-cooler talk online. Free speech. Discussing opinions, views and public information.

    I guess what I am asking is how many of you feel about this quote from the article and your willingness to accept risk when posting to a public forum?

    “A lot of bloggers think of themselves as individuals or maybe writers but in the courts, they are considered a publisher”

    “Defamation is defamation no matter whether it is written on paper or on a blog,” it said in the article.

    It’s usually a bad idea to give legal advice if you’re not a lawyer, on a blog or not. Other certain speech is probably also a bad idea (e.g. investment advice, tax advice, etc.) in such a forum.

    If you think about it before you write, you can probably balance your need to express an opinion with some basic life risk management.
