I am a lawyer. Not doing something because someone may ask for free legal
advice would mean that I would have to stay home and watch television.

On the golf course, someone may ask me a question. I answer it. Of course
when I have a question about something that person is knowledgeable, I ask
him. Generally, my advice is worth no more than his. At the gliderport, a
friend is helping me with the engine of my motorglider. He knows more than
I do about engines. So far, he has not needed any legal advice, so he has
not asked any questions. He has mentioned about all the club members taking
advantage of him, however.

I have found that often the only people who do not get asked questions are
those who do not know very much.

I belong to a number of organizations and sometimes do free legal work or
answer legal questions. However, in all of those organizations, I receive
more than I give.
