Re: If someone posts a joke on the Laughter Thread, and some reader laughs so hard he/she spills their hot coffee on them self, is the poster at risk of a law suit for posting thatmessage? It would all depend on the specific facts of the case at issue. But I don't think so. The negligence of the coffee drinker would have to be compared with that of the poster, and the result would probably be a defense verdict, in my jurisdiction at least.
