Correct. You crossed the boundary between discussing it and giving advice. I already explained how above:

> This isn't mere research and discussion; it's suggesting an outcome (i.e., "you're safe[r]"). That crosses a line into advice.

I did not bring it up in other threads because you weren't doing that then.

If you still don’t understand the problem, consult your own lawyer.

BTW, in nearly every state, it is unlawful to practice law without a license.
