Man I have seen some horse**** in my time, but that's about as stupid as I can remember seeing of late. FTDK remember, as others have pointed out there are ROOKIES that frequent these forae; some of them may even be stupid enough to test some of your more outrageous claims for themselves.

Even under common law there is still such a thing as a 'duty of care'. Imagine for a second someone following a practice such as this, injuring, maiming or killing... when asked 'why?', they respond along the lines of something they saw in PPRune...

You already know you can be individually identified simply by using the Internet -no different here. If you are the author of spurious advice published here and acted upon, guess who the duty of care is going to haunt then???

You really do need to curb your excesses.
