I wondered when someone would get around to the legal stuff. Of course there's an issue. But the same holds true when giving advice whether in letter, email or other form of communication. But it's nothing that sensible, light-handed policies can't handle. The real issue is one of defamation and libel. There's no way you'd let a loose lipped employee into this stuff.
On AccountingWEB there are many robust discussions but as far as I'm aware, Sift haven't been forced to tear down posts on those grounds. Remember, the US is incredibly litigious, Europe less so.

Tell me it's cack if you like
Hey John - thanks for the hat tip. I'm hoping professionals will take a look and say one of two things:
1. it's great, tell us more...or
2. it's cack because....
The point is that it's an experiment, it may not work, it may offend, it may delight, it doesn't matter in the end because I'm hoping readers will shape the way it goes.
Think Born Dull in style but with comment on issues of interest designed to provoke thought.
I don't think we'll be eating AccWEB's lunch, any time soon. It isn't meant to be news. You guys do that very well. It's not really meant to provide analysis in the accepted sense, again AccWEB has a stable of very well respected commentators.
It's more about tapping into things that professionals care about. The ones in the trenches wrestling with regulation, IT, stroppy clients and trying to build practices based on a different way of developing the client relationship.
