thing).

Besides which, I kinda like the guy, he's only trying to help.  I'd like to
put his mind at ease that we aren't actually going to be thrown in the pokey
for telling people not to have sex in public, or swap drug prices even.
He's legitimately concerned about that.  Also thinks we should tag all the
minors as being "Under 18" in order to limit our liability, or something (I
haven't paid real close attention to that argument at all, just on account
of it being impossible to do, and so a moot point as to whether we should do
it or not).

All fairly bizarre, and about the best argument I've come up with is "Er...
no, you're completely wrong, even though you're a lawyer and I'm not.  Uh...
trust me."
