Radio codes ruling and health

[lslowry]

Quite rightly radio codes cannot be given out because it might encourage criminal activities. If, however, you wanted information on health issues by unqualified people then this is the site. Surely a warning should be issued on health subjects before a reply is given. I cannot understand the mentality of people seeking advice of people who claim to be qualified. Go and see your own Doctor for a hands on diagnosis! I've noticed that most of the advice given can be obtained nearly word for word by Googling.

on the whole I agree, but it's okay to share health "experiences".

anyone who is medically advising someone should be sensible enough to add "but I'm not medically qualified" if that's the case.

there is a disclaimer in b&s and health and fitness advising that they should seek medical help from their doctor.

[cazzz1975]

actually the disclaimer has now gone by the look of it..

i agree about this radio codes thing, it';s not that clear as to why it's a big deal, and before the start lot start, i understand about robbed radios but then have they robbed a laptop too to be able to ask the question? I don;t care really it;s all just daft to me, if i want to use my cd player i don;t need a code i donl;t think

oh, so it has, cazzz. That's going to open the way to a lot of lawsuits against AB when one of Sqad's homoeopathic remedies goes wrong and all your children are born mutants.

[cazzz1975]

lol jno, and lots of "sqad fathered my 118 kids" ;)

Dot, the radio in the work's vehicle needed a code, and the cd player wouldn't work either. in fact the whole display went, so no clock, temperature, and whatever else should have been there.

btw, I got the code from the lease company who supplied the car.

yes, and his posts on having a threesome could definitely have had a 'do not try this at home' disclaimer.

The Medical, Legal etc. disclaimers disappeared months ago during a previous revamp of the site.

[cazzz1975]

so where does this leave AB legally then?

[jno]

at the mercy of libel tourists, I suppose; it means defamed Americans can sue in British courts for untold squillions of dollars. Unless AB is based in Grand Cayman or something.

sqad throws a lot of take 600mg of ibuprofen at many people, even now for a cold sore?!

what if the person has an ulcer and doing this makes them ill. I think the disclaimer on the actual page should be re-introduced..
