    Can anyone tell me why my post has just been rejected for being
    'off-topic' please when it is just legal advice, and sound at that?

    Unless you fear making catastrophic errors with no-one else to
    blame, of course.

    That is poor advice, even to a solicitor (which I don't believe
    Roland is) unless practising in that field. Akin to treating one's
    own significant illness.

    Actually, it's very good advice because the proviso should always
    apply. Which is why I put it in.

    But it does depend on having some trust in and respect for
    professionals, with whom Roland, on his own admission, has had the
    most appalling, continuing and incredible bad luck over the past few
    years, so may well be missing.

    It is possible I suppose that you don't actually know when you are being offensively sarcastic? Or, indeed, sarcastically offensive??

    What on earth has that got to do with the question and the 'off topic' rejection?

    Or, indeed, the truth? He has fallen out with more professionals than
    I've had hot dinners.
