Ron, your advising people to store up to 60 days of food is more liberal of you than I had prior expected. I previously thought you advised up to a couple of weeks.

What you call adding a caveat is in essence, a disclaimer, JIC- just in case, as we see included with many thousands of products, on manufactuere's warranty cards.

You accuse me of adding words to your statements or such? How many replies have you had from a number of us accusing you of that VERY EXACT SAME THING over the months?

And, yes, you absolutely have a total responsibility to those you advise who then detrimentally rely on it, if and when they are damaged due to your wrongful advice. I refer here most of all to your very dangerous advice re: not storing water even tho buying a water filter.

Now, we get to what kind of liability you would have...no, don't worry, I'm not discussing legal liability...I am discussing moral liability in the eyes of your god.

I don't think in that context that your said disclaimer would absolve you, e.g., what about those that just read the first line, and accepted that without reading your disclaimer? What about those that realized you were just using a disclaimer, or didn't fit in your exception/s, such as having children? Remember the holding- it was whatever you said that causes others to reasonably interpret your words as.....,and rely on such, or what a reasonable man would believe after reading your statements....

But, in this context, think about the most serious of your advice- to not store any additional water...how many lurkers here believe you over us doomeRealists and decide to buy a filter and in Jan when no water comes out of the tap, but maybe backup sewage instead, and cannot find water for EVEN JUST 3 DAYS ?

If they then die, Ron, (filter or not), would you accept responsibility for having posted that here?

Do you think your god would hold you responsible for their deaths in that senario?

Unlike you, as I said, I will not advise any specific amount of preps, as having a conscience, I would not want anyones harm to be on mine if I mistakenly advise them to under-prepare, and they detrimentally rely on my advice, and die thereof.

What about in your case ron?
