It is my understanding that there exist legal restrictions (at least,
in some jurisdictions) to the effect that
1)	One who offers legal advice for a fee should be admitted to
	the bar; and
2)	such an individual -- as a "professional" -- may be liable for
	malpractice under some circumstances.

CAVEAT: I am a programmer, *not* a lawyer.  The purpose of this
follow-up is merely to point out that this whole Stargate discussion is
sufficiently complicated and confusing (to me, anyway -- though I
concede that I may be rather more thick-headed than the rest of you
folks...  :-) ) that we *probably* don't want to add another level of
complexity & confusion.

If I have somehow managed to offend someone with this posting, please
e-mail (address below).
