James Webb Young begins his book <EM>A Technique for Producing
Ideas</EM> with a prefatory note:

<BLOCKQUOTE><EM>
The subject is properly one which belongs to the professional
psychologist, which I am not.  This treatment of it, therefore,
can have value only as an expression of the personal experience
of one who has had to earn his living by producing what were
alleged to be ideas.
</EM></BLOCKQUOTE>

With a little tweaking, such as occasionally substituting a
different profession for psychologist, this would make a nice
disclaimer for many of my blog entries.

Come to think of it, with a little tweaking, this could serve
as the basis of a disclaimer for about 98% of the web.
