My experience as a provider has not exactly been a lengthy one, but I have invested considerable time and effort doing research. There is so much knowlege to be gained here. I often check this board in particular, but I notice that repeatedly, people ask the very same questions.  Initially, when there were several things I felt a desperate needed to clarify, I parked myself in this "Legal Corner" for a good while and read about 60 pages back.  Almost every single thing on my, (2 page), list of questions was adequately addressed.  From the prolific Mr. Fisher, (whom I surmise is "still not a lawyer"), and so many others, I have certainly become enlightened.  Sincerely, I must thank you.  

If there is something you're dying to know, (in the legal arena, as it pertains to the hobby), read back a few.  My guess is, long before you have to comb through 60 pages, you'll probably find your answer. (and then some)
