You seem to be implying that this story is almost meritless (more precisely, has as about much merit as one of your blog entries) unless Jon can find a lawyer who will offer a professional opinion on this matter.

The chances of finding an expert lawyer to go out on a limb like that? Slim to none. The smarter she is, the less she will speculate on areas like this that have very little precedent.

Is the story still valuable even without professional intepretation? Absolutely. It's got a lot of good information. Your "constructive criticism" in this case is misguided and unrealistic.
